Abstract

A decentralized scheme is proposed for the design of automatic generation control (AGC) for interconnected power systems. This scheme uses the natural structural properties of interconnected power systems and gives a new method for decentralized AGC regulator design, using the existing theory of proportional-plus-integral linear regulators applied to each individual power area. It is shown that a decentralized design, based upon the expansion-contraction theory of large-scale systems with overlapping and modified linear regulators with incomplete subsystem feedback, is suitable to handle the design of AGC regulators for present-day interconnected power systems. The resulting AGC retains the autonomous area control concept and load distribution property of conventional AGC regulators, while at the same time allows for improved transients and stability margins for interconnected areas. The application of this decentralized AGC scheme is illustrated on a 17th-order model of a two-area interconnected power system.
