The universal use of open communication networks in interconnected power systems has changed the constant delay in the formerly dedicated channels into time-varying delay. The delay will deteriorate the dynamic performance of the load frequency control and lead to system frequency instability. This paper presents a fractional-order sliding mode controller for interconnected power systems with time-varying delay and performs stability analysis based on the Lyapunov direct method. Firstly, fractional-order integral sliding mode control is used to improve the stability of interconnected power systems containing time-varying delay. This expands the delay margin by taking advantage of the scalability of the fractional-order to the sliding mode surface. Then, the Riemann-Liouville fractional-order Lyapunov functional is introduced to stability analysis. This reduced the conservatism of the stability analysis by adjusting the upper limit of the functional integral. Lastly, combining Lyapunov's theory and integral inequality to obtain the stability conditions of the time-varying delay power system described by linear matrix inequality, and bring the stability margin of the system. The simulation results show that the designed controller can guarantee that the maximum delay time of the system is less than a predefined upper limit. The proposed control strategy obtains a larger stability margin than the other four scenarios. Additional simulation study was also conducted to verify its robustness to load variations and wind fluctuations.
