Integrated Economic Dispatch and Automatic Generation Control for Two-Area

Abstract

Control of power generation is significant to a power system. Reaching a steady-state response for frequency generation in a shorter time will make generation more stable in power supply than load distribution. The automatic generation control (AGC) controls the electrical generation frequency and transfers power to another area as required from economic dispatch (ED) with minimum disturbance. This work illustrates the classical and integrated economic dispatch with automatic generation control (ED-AGC) in one area. The classical ED frequently defines every generator’s base point power from optimization problems for AGC scheduling during generation. On the other hand, the integrated ED is the control feedback representing the base point power of every generator for AGC during load power variance. This work will also design the two areas of integrated ED-AGC and shows the different results for using classical and integrated ED-AGC in two areas system. The simulation program will generate a better frequency regulation response with better power generated from the integrated controller during load disturbance. It will provide more optimally result in the cost of generating power.
