Overview of recent control technologies for future power systems

Abstract The increasing integration of renewable power generation in power systems poses new challenges to power system control. In this article, we describe a multi-layer power system control architecture that addresses these challenges and comprises economic planning, supervisory power control, as well as voltage and frequency control as main layers. Several parts of this architecture have already been developed and tested on diverse components including building energy management, micro grid management and wind park control. We provide an overview of these applications and indicate white spots in this control architecture that require further research.
