Power System Frequency Control

Power System Frequency Control: Modeling and Advances evaluates the control schemata, secondary controllers, stability improvement methods, optimization considerations, microgrids, multi-microgrids, and real-time validation required to model and analyze the dynamic behavior of frequency in power systems. Chapters review a range of advanced modeling and analytical considerations for single to multi-area networks using traditional and hybrid sources, including renewable sources, FACT devices and storage. The work also considers broad aspects of upstream and downstream control mechanisms which enable novel solutions in the area of automatic generation control in power system networks. Highly recommended for power system engineers, researchers and practitioners with interests in load frequency control, automatic generation control, linearized models of isolated microgrid, and multi-microgrid, and hybrid LFC scheme, this book is an ideal resource on the topics discussed. - Explains the function and purpose of power network frequency loops, including primary control, secondary control and emergency control loops - Models LFC schemes from single-area to multi-area interconnected power systems - Demonstrates five fundamental controller designs alongside their main error principles - Evaluates dynamic response analysis with transient performance stated for modern indices - Discusses performance studies such as state-space modeling, random loading, sensitivity and stability analyses
