Abstract:
Automatic generation control (AGC) plays an imperative role in
interconnected power system design and operation, with the increasing size
changing structure and uncertain load demands the problem of AGC is becoming
more significant today. For maintaining a proper generation-load balance AGC is
required to necessitate augmented intelligence and flexibility.
The latest AGC mechanism should be capable of handling complex systems,
changes in policies, and broad division in demand and supply sources. The
controllers of such systems should be based on intelligent algorithms.
The presented work provides a methodical understanding of the power system
AGC, and presents numerous new schemes using intelligent algorithms for
reducing the deviation in frequency and tie-line power to counterpart total
generation and load demand.
