Automatic Generation Control in Restructured Power System with Capacitive Energy Storage and Communication Delay Based Cascaded Controller

Abstract

Present work demonstrates a novel approach adopting communication delay based PI-PD cascaded controller in automatic generation control (AGC) under deregulated power system scenario. Moth flame optimization (MFO) technique is adopted to tune controller gain parameters. In modern days, energy storage devices (ESDs) get enormous popularities in power system operation. In this regard, capacitive energy storage (CES) unit has been included in both the areas. Numerous case studies are performed considering various power exchange scenarios. Detailed mathematical formulations are presented in support of the simulated results. Time domain analyses also satisfy the performance of the suggested controller. All the scenarios are simulated to validate the robustness and sensitivity of the suggested controller using standard two area deregulated power system model under MATLAB / Simulink.
