Abstract

This paper describes the modeling of a frequency controller that can be applied when islanding occurs at a power distribution network with a single distributed generator. The controller function requires bus frequency measurements which, for design purposes, need to be derived (computed) during dynamic simulations. Therefore, this paper also proposes a simple new frequency computation technique that can be used during dynamic simulations. The paper also addresses a technique for stochastic modeling of load uncertainties in the time-domain using the Modelica Noise library’s features. The performance of the islanded controller is evaluated under load uncertainties, different PMU (phasor measurement unit) reporting rates and communication latencies.
