AUTOMATIC GENERATION CONTROL OF INTER-CONNECTED POWER SYSTEM

Abstract

In Practical situation of the power system, the overall generation is produced by the combination of thermal, hydro and /or nuclear power plants. Among them, the thermal and hydro power plants participate in automatic generation control (AGC).The purpose of control strategy is successful implementation on the system concern having varying characteristics. Also, many research papers available in the power system area reveal the fact that it is worthwhile to use HVDC transmission link which has a stabilizing effect on the system dynamics. Day by day increasing HVDC projects motivate us to investigate the effect of using parallel combination of EHVAC transmission link for system interconnection of the power system areas on the systems dynamic performance. Thus, the aim of the present dissertation is to study “AUTOMATIC GENERATION CONTROL OF INTERCONNECTED POWER SYSTEMS”. For that purpose, investigations have been done with 2-area interconnected power system consisting of non-...
