Load Frequency Control for Interconnected Multi-area Power Systems with the Semi-Markov Jumping Parameter and Actuator Failure

In this study, we study the load frequency control (LFC) problem for interconnected multiarea power systems (IMAPSs) with quantization and actuator failure. To effectively reduce the amount of data in the channel, input signals will be quantized before being transmitted from a controller to a system through the digital communication channel. To reveal the asynchronous phenomenon between the original plant and LFC with actuator failure, a hidden semi-Markov model is formulated. In addition, the stability of the jump system under network attack is discussed. On the basis of the Lyapunov theory, sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the stochastic stability of IMAPSs. Finally, the validity of the theoretical results is tested via a simulation example.
