This paper presents a real-time dispatch strategy for coupled transmission and distribution systems within a distributed and cooperative control framework to maintain reliable and secure operation with minimum generation costs and maximum renewable energy consumption. The presented strategy transforms each distribution system into a dispatchable active source via an average-consensus-based active power control of renewable distributed energy resources (DERs) at the distribution level and then dispatches the active power reference of conventional generators as well as the distribution systems in a measurement-based way at a transmission level. The voltage fluctuation caused by the DER active power control is smoothened with a distributed voltage control method, which can also reduce the active power loss in the distribution systems. Compared to existing real-time dispatch strategies, the proposed strategy can eliminate security issues in the transmission system in a short time by regulating large amounts of DERs at a distribution level in a simple and easy controlled structure, in which the differences in the communication conditions and privacy requirements between the distribution and transmission systems are adequately considered.

Remote microgrids with battery energy storage systems (BESSs), diesel generators, and renewable energy sources (RESs) have recently received significant attention because of their improved power quality and remarkable capability of continuous power supply to loads. In this paper, a new proportional control method is proposed using frequency-bus-signaling to achieve real-time power balance continuously under an abnormal condition of short-term power shortage in a remote microgrid. Specifically, in the proposed method, the frequency generated by the grid-forming BESS is used as a global signal and, based on the signal, a diesel generator is then controlled indirectly. The frequency is controlled to be proportional to the AC voltage deviation of the grid-forming BESS to detect sudden power shortages and share active power with other generators. Unlike a conventional constant-voltage constant-frequency (CVCF) control method, the proposed method can be widely applied to optimise the use of distributed energy resources (DERs), while maintaining microgrid voltages within an allowable range, particularly when active power balance cannot be achieved only using CVCF control. For case studies, a comprehensive model of an isolated microgrid is developed using real data. Simulation results are obtained using MATLAB/Simulink to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method in improving primary active power control in the microgrid.
