Description
Summary:The introduction of electrolytic aluminum load in a large-scale power system with complex power station structure is essential for load frequency control (LFC). In this paper, we propose a control strategy for electrolytic aluminum load to participate in the frequency modulation of the power grid based on the IEEE standard two-region LFC model. Besides, a fractional-order PID (FOPID) controller is designed and compared with traditional PID, and the parameters of the FOPID controller are optimized by PSO algorithm. In addition, a two-region LFC model was built to verify the integrated control strategy for electrolytic aluminum load participation in frequency modulation, which show that the FOPID controller optimized by the PSO algorithm has stronger robustness in the LFC.
