Effective oscillation damping of an interconnected multi-source power system with automatic generation control and TCSC

Coordination of Heat Pumps, Electric Vehicles and AGC for Efficient LFC in a Smart Hybrid Power System via SCA-Based Optimized FOPID Controllers

“…The design process of the FOPID controller and optimal tuning of its parameters are described in the next section. In spite of the complicated and nonlinear simulation of power systems in dynamic investigations, a simplified and linear model can satisfy the analysis of frequency performance [27,28]. The linear transfer function-based model of the considered power system is depicted in Figure 5.…”

AGC of a multi-area multi-source hydrothermal power system interconnected via AC/DC parallel links under deregulated environment

“…Therefore, there exist constraints on the rate of change of power generation called generation rate constraints (GRCs) [ [11,12,56]. Additionally, GRC must be incorporated for practical study of the power systems [35,53,54]. To explore this aspect and further testing the effectiveness of the optimal PI regulators, in the extant study, a GRC of 10%/min (±0.00167 pu/s) is considered for reheat thermal source [12,13,40,53,54] and GRC for hydro power source of 270%/min (+0.045 pu/s) for raising generation and 360%/min (À0.06 pu/s) for lowering generation [13,14,19,34,35,44,53,54,56] has been considered.…”

“…Recently some researchers have investigated the AGC of conventional power systems with diverse sources such as hydro, thermal, gas, and nuclear, operating in each control area [14,18,47,[52][53][54][55][56]. Optimal AGC regulators are designed and implemented effectively on a two-area power system with hydrothermal-gas generating units in each area [47].…”

“…Optimal AGC regulators are designed and implemented effectively on a two-area power system with hydrothermal-gas generating units in each area [47]. The study is also performed using differential evolution [52] and particle swarm optimization [53] techniques for AGC of multi-source single/ multi-area power systems. Optimal full state feedback and output feedback controllers are proposed for a realistic single-area multisource system [54].…”

Power System Stabilizer Application for Load Frequency Control in Hydro-Electric Power Plant

“…The flow of active power in a transmission system is influenced by different control actions. PSS and flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) devices can help the damping of power system oscillations and increase the system stability [14,15]. The basic function of a PSS is to add damping to the generator rotor oscillations by controlling its excitation using auxiliary stabilizing signals [16,17].…”
