A Decentralized Strategy for Frequency-based Load as Regulation

In order to keep frequency stable after UHV DC block fault, demand side resources are needed. Among these, frequency-based load can automatically monitor the frequency change without affecting the user's power consumption experience and can quickly adjust the operating parameters to reduce its own power consumption. Thus, frequency-based load can play a role similar to the primary frequency regulation. In this paper, several physical models of typical frequency-based loads were established and the frequency regulation characteristics are analyzed. Based on this, a decentralized strategy of frequency-based load was proposed. The simulation results show that the grouping decentralized strategy can effectively avoid the "over-control" or "under-control" phenomenon, which helps to quickly maintain the power balance and frequency stability of the grid.
