Decentralized Frequency Regulation by Using Novel PID Sliding Mode Structure in Multi-Area Power Systems With Hydropower Turbines by Dao Trong Tran, Anh-Tuan Tran, van van Huynh, Ton Duc do

“…This paper introduces a novel sliding mode control (SMC) design utilizing a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) Sliding Surface (SS) for frequency regulation in multi-area electrical power systems (EPSs) with hydropower turbines, accounting for random load conditions, parameter variations, and matched uncertainties. The global system stability of this new approach is mathematically analyzed using Lyapunov theory alongside a novel Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) technique. …”
