This review presents a state-of-the-art literature review of Automatic Generation Control (AGC) control strategies for power systems containing renewable energy sources. The incorporation of renewable energy into the power system has a large impact on the stability, reliability, economy and security of the power system.
The concept of automatic generation control has an immense role in providing quality power in an interconnected system. To obtain quality power by controlling the oscillations of frequency and tie-line power, a proper controller design is necessary.
The aim of this paper is to study the automatic generation control (AGC) in a restructured power system. The power system under study has five different diversified energy sources assisting some real time nonlinearities like generation rate constraint (GRC), governor dead band (GDB), and boiler dynamics.
Because of the uncertainty of the external environment, high penetration of renewable energy such as wind power and solar energy in the modern power system renders the traditional automatic generation control (AGC) methods more challenging.
Modern power systems must be resilient to sudden load variations in order to keep the system stable. For Automatic Generation Control (AGC), single load change is impractical and need further analysis.
For Automatic Generation Control (AGC), single load change is impractical and need further analysis.
