Abstract.

The stochastic dynamic interval model of power systems with asynchronous wind turbine generators is established with consideration of the interval uncertain parameters and random small excitation disturbances. The conditions of interval mean stability and interval mean square stability of the power systems are proposed. The relationship between the bounds of the mean (mean square) error and the parameter interval range of the systems is discussed. Finally, we simulate the power systems to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

1. Introduction

With the rapid development of wind power and other emerging new energy and grid, the random excitation has a significant impact on the power systems stability and power quality [1–3]. In addition, the system parameters are generally uncertain because of the effects of the temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions and the restriction of the information collection technology. It is of great importance to consider the influence of the stochastic excitation and uncertain parameters in the stability analysis of power systems [4–6].

In recent years, a lot of researches have been done on the stability analysis and feedback control of stochastic systems; see [7–10] and the references therein. For power systems under stochastic excitations, Humberto et al. [11] discussed the almost sure asymptotic stability of linear stochastic systems with bounded Markov diffusion process perturbation by the means of Lyapunov exponents and applied the theoretical results to one machine infinite bus electric power systems. Ma et al. established a continuous Markov power system model with multiple operating conditions considering the stochastic characteristic of wind speed and proposed a Lyapunov function based method for the stability analysis of the system [4]. Robust stochastic stability of power systems under stochastic excitation and random perturbations was discussed in [12, 13]. Noticing that the mean and mean square stability [14, 15] are of great importance for power systems, the small signal mean stability and mean square stability of power systems under random excitation were investigated by some researchers. In [2], Zhang et al. put forward a stochastic differential equation model for power system under Gauss type random excitation and proposed some conditions for the mean stability and mean square stability of the system. Yuan et al. further investigated the the steady-state expectation and covariance of the system state variables of the power systems with asynchronous wind turbines [16]. For a general case of mean stability and mean square stability, Lu et al. discussed the th stochastic stability and dynamic characteristics of power systems under small Gauss type random excitations [17]. For power systems whose network parameters are being known to be within certain bounds, under the assumption of with mixed phasor and conventional power measurements, some state estimation methods were put forward based on the interval linear system model [18, 19]. So far, there have been no researches carried out for the stochastic mean stability and mean square stability analysis of power systems with both consideration of random excitation disturbances and interval parameter uncertainties.

In this paper, we discuss the stochastic small signal stability of power systems with wind turbines and parameter uncertainties. First, the stochastic interval dynamic model of the power systems is established with consideration of the interval parameter uncertainties and small random excitations. Then, we propose some results for the mean stability and mean square stability by analyzing the eigenvalues of the system matrix. The relationship between the bounds of the mean and the mean square error and the small random excitation and interval uncertain parameters is also discussed. Finally, we simulate a single machine infinite bus power system with asynchronous wind turbine Generator to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The paper is organized as follows. First, the stochastic dynamic interval model of power system is established considering interval uncertain parameters under small random excitation in Section 2. The interval mean stability and interval mean square stability of the system are given in Section 3. Section 4 gives the simulation of power systems. Finally, conclusions are drawn in the last section.

2.2. Stochastic Model of Asynchronous Wind Turbine Generators

The asynchronous wind power generation systems is mainly composed of the wind turbine, gear box, and asynchronous generator, as shown in Figure 2.

Thus and system (52) is stable under condition (48). Furthermore, we have .
Now consider the stochastic power system (20). The solution process of (20) can be expressed as [8]

Taking expectation of the both sides, we have

Noticing that the expectation of the nonrandom variable is equal to itself and the expectation of the random variable is equal to 0, we have

According to Theorems 5 and 6, we know that the system is interval mean stability and interval mean square stability.

Choosing , we can get

Figure 3: Response of system with small random excitation.

Figure 4: Response of system with large random excitation.

Figure 5: Response of system with larger random excitation.

From Figure 3, we can see that the system states can converge fast to the stable operation under small excitation and the system is stable. When the random excitation intensity increases, we can see from Figure 4 that the fluctuations of the system states increase compared to Figure 3. As shown in Figure 5, when we select a random excitation intensity largely, the system states fluctuate seriously and the system is unstable.

5. Conclusions

The paper established a stochastic interval dynamic model and analyzed the interval mean stability and interval mean square stability of power systems with asynchronous wind turbine generators. The relationship between the bounds of the mean and the mean square error of the system and the parameter interval range was discussed under random excitation. Theoretical analysis and simulation show that, for stochastic power systems with interval parameter uncertainties, the bounds of the mean and the mean square error are directly related to the random excitation. The power system will be unstable if the random excitation is large enough. Noticing that the mean square exponential stability analysis [23] and feedback controller design [24] for stochastic power systems are of great importance, in the future, we will carry out researches on the mean square exponential stability analysis of power systems with asynchronous wind turbine generators and design feedback controllers to improve the stochastic stability of the system under large random excitations.
