Optimum controller for automatic generation control

Abstract

This paper deals with automatic generation control of area consisting of many generating sources i.e. hydro, thermal and gas. One percent load perturbation is given to each area considering combination of thermal, thermal hydro and thermal hydro gas generating station and the response of system frequency is analyzed. Accurate transfer function model is first required to analyze the system. To investigate the system dynamic performance, optimal control design is implemented in the wake of 1% step load disturbance. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
