This paper defines an agile power system as a system in which the physical structure can change due to the connection/disconnection of subsystems, such as microgrids. These systems pose serious difficulties in their operations and control. Some of these challenges are reviewed. One operational issue is the energy balancing or the load frequency control problem when microgrids with a low inertia are connected to the main grid. The paper identifies the need for new rules of operation. Furthermore, in this paper, decentralized and data-driven voltage control designs are proposed, compared and illustrated on a microgrid. They take into consideration the structure and the usage of the large amount of data provided by the proliferation of sensors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
