Event-Triggered Mechanism for Multiple Frequency Services of Electric Vehicles in Smart Grids.

This paper considers an event-triggered mechanism (ETM) for multiple frequency services of electric vehicles (EVs) in smart grids (SGs). A new model of a SG with an ETM and multiple agents of EVs is introduced. ETM is deployed to reduce the load on network bandwidth. EVs are incorporated in both secondary and primary frequency services to suppress frequency fluctuations in the system. The behaviours of EV owners are also considered by using batteries SOC controls. Then, a mathematical model of the system is derived which contains parametric uncertainties due to the incorporation of SOC control, an ETM variable arising from ETM control, and a time-varying delay in both the state and control input vectors. We derive new Lyapunov stability and stabilizability conditions to ensure robust $H_{\infty }$ performance of the closed-loop system. The conditions are derived based on various mathematical tools including relaxed Jensen inequality, free weighting matrix technique, reciprocally convex approach, and matrix inequality for uncertainties. An effective procedure is proposed based on an approach using the state transformation and tractable linear matrix inequalities to synthesis robust static output feedback controller gains. Extensive simulations of a SG with three agents of EVs are undertaken to validate of our proposed control scheme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
