Abstract

This work proposes an investigation about the use of Norm-bounded Linear Differential Inclusions (NLDIs) for the design of PSS-type damping controllers for electrical systems with the presence of distributed generation. When the NLDI is properly defined, it is possible to guarantee certain properties (for example, asymptotic stability) to the trajectories of the NLDI and, consequently, the trajectories of the nonlinear model have these same properties. Initially, this research proposes a procedure to calculate the NLDI parameters in such way it can be capable to aggregate a set of dynamics of interest. Such procedure is constituted by two steps. In the first step, the objective is to aggregate some trajectories of the nonlinear model to a Politopic Linear Differential Inclusion (PLDI). In the second step, the NLDI parameters are calculated by solving a problem in the form of LMIs (Linear Matrix Inequalities) that uses the IDLP previously obtained. After that, this research proposes a systematic method based on LMIs for the design of PSS-type damping controllers for distributed generation systems. Such method uses the proposed NLDI models. Constraints in the form of LMIs are included to the control problem formulation in order to guarantee a desirable performance to the controller. As a result, the control problem formulation is structured by a set of BMIs (Bilinear Matrix Inequalities). However, it is possible to deal with such problem in two steps,both involving the solution of a set of LMIs. A cogeneration plant added to a distribution network constituted by a feeder and six buses is adopted as test system. (AU)
