  • Patent number: 12270380
    Abstract: A data-driven wind farm frequency control method based on dynamic mode decomposition. The method enables a low-dimension nonlinear dynamic feature of a wind power system to perform global capturing in a high-dimension space through a state transition matrix given by a Koopman operator theory, thus fewer data samples are necessary while control requirements are satisfied with respect to a model fitting accuracy. Meanwhile, a pure linear feature of a control model also provides a favorable foundation for fast on-line dynamic response, thereby satisfying response accuracy and speed requirements simultaneously in an actual control step.

  • Publication number: 20250070565
    Abstract: A method and system for power grid optimization control based on a linear time-varying model is provided. The system model is first estimated offline using historical data combined with a piecewise linear regression method that supports a vector regression model. For online applications, a time-varying linear model prediction control framework based on a piecewise linear model coordinates the optimization control of both fast and slow regulating devices in the power grid. This approach does not require precise system model parameters, instead learning the power grid model from historical data. The method optimizes voltage distribution, reduces operating costs, and addresses issues like bad data and collinearity in the historical data, improving the voltage quality and enabling optimal operation even with incomplete models.

  • Patent number: 11689024
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a two-side stochastic dispatching method for a power grid. By analyzing historical data of wind power, the Gaussian mixture distribution is fitted by software. For certain power system parameters, a two-side chance-constrained stochastic dispatching model is established. The hyperbolic tangent function is used to analyze and approximate cumulative distribution functions of random variables in the reserve demand constraint and the power flow constraint, to convert the two-side chance constraint into a deterministic constraint. The disclosure can have the advantage of using the hyperbolic tangent function to convert the two-side chance constraint containing risk levels and random variables into the solvable deterministic convex constraint, effectively improving the solution efficiency of the model, and providing decision makers with a more reasonable dispatching basis.

When the increment of the nodal loads is subordinate to the changing domain, the locational marginal price may remain unchanged. The parameter changing domain of loads in the power system may be used for the comprehensive evaluation of power market clearing results and assisting the operation of the power market.
