Automatic Generation Control (AGC) problem has been one of the major subjects in electric power system design/operation and is becoming much more significant today in accordance with increasing size, changing structure and complexity of interconnected power systems. In practice, AGC systems use simple proportional-integral (PI) controllers. However, since the PI controller parameters are usuall...

In this paper an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based controller is presented for the Automatic Generation Control (AGC) of a five area interconnected power system with reheat turbines. The control scheme guarantees that steady state error of the area frequencies and inadvertent interchange of tielines are maintained in a given tolerance limit. ANN controller controls the inputs of each area i...

This paper proposes a bi-level optimization framework to investigate the optimal market operation strategies of price-maker battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in real-time energy, spinning reserve, and pay as performance regulation markets, with special focus on understanding BESS’s excessive participation observed by several system operators impact degradation cost BESS activities. An accu...

An attempt has been made in the paper to present control strategies and operation of large interconnected power systems having automatic generation (AGC). Power such as industrial-plants have certain uncertainties load deviations due multi variable operating conditions. The prevailing situation sector India is also reviewed with regard transmission systems, operational process, automation syste...

A distributed control scheme, which can be implemented on generators and controllable loads in a plug-and-play manner, is proposed for power system frequency regulation. The proposed scheme is based on local measurements, local computation, and neighborhood information exchanges over a communication network with an arbitrary (but connected) topology. In the event of a sudden change in generatio...

The present work approaches a novel quasi-oppositional harmony search (QOHS) algorithm, as an optimization technique, for its optimum performance in the subject area of automatic generation control (AGC) of power system. The proposed QOHS algorithm is applied with an aim to converge rapidly towards the optimal solution(s) that houses both the characters of two guesses, i.e. opposite-point and q...

To minimize the longitudinal strip thickness error in the hydraulic cold rolling industries and improve traditional AGC control scheme on this problem, we put forward a secure gauge control system based on Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) and intelligent PI control strategy. The traditional automatic gauge control (AGC) scheme depended on personal experience about the parameters. The new gauge cont...

Prior to the 1965 blackout in the Northeastern US the electric utility companies operated their systems with two separate real time systems. The first, which I will call the load control system, consisted of analog computers connected to measurement transducers at major tie line connections to neighboring systems as well as to generating plants and was used to control the frequency and net inte...

This paper presents the robust design of a Power System Stabilizer (PSS) to improve the stability in the composed two-area Load Frequency Control (LFC) and Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) using Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) in a restructured environment. The coupling effects of the LFC and AVR loops are studied by extending the linearized Automatic Generation Control (AGC) system to include the...
