Making balance between the generation and demand is the operating principle of the load frequency control (LFC). Several studies in LFC have led to the trend of applying the adaptive approach to the implementation on automatic generation control (AGC). However, the adaptive controller with selftuning technique requires online acquisition of system parameters that was not clearly stated in the related literatures. This paper proposes the online Recursive Least Square (RLS) estimation on system's parameters for an isolated power system. The estimated parameters not only could be used as a reference model for the design of the nominal gains in gain scheduling technique, but also could be applied to the online tuning of the controller gains under the time-varying condition. Simulation results show that the RLS based estimate with an adaptive controller could enhance the performance of the LFC.
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.
