Designing a novel demand side regulation algorithm to participate in frequency control using iterated mappings

This study proposes a local and decentralised load management procedure to provide frequency control support in power systems, without a complex communication network. In this context, the authors aim is to design and develop a new and innovative control algorithm using iterated mappings. Iterated mappings are obtained by local frequency measurements and are proved to be strong tools in dynamical deterministic systems´ analysis. The proposed algorithm is capable of assigning relevant operational states to power system during power contingencies; control action will then be exerted on that basis, with a simple and easy to implement data processing procedure. Efficiency of the control method is then verified by simulations in MATLAB environment.
