Automatic Load Disconnection and Reconnection to Power System using Controllable Loads

Abstract

Now a days, Renewable Energy Resources are playing a vital role in power system to meet the demand. As Renewable Resources includes solar power, Wind power generation they are eco-friendly in the aspect of power generation. It is progress a step forward to integrate the renewable power along with base load plants such as Thermal power plant. With the advancement in the network Technology, smart meters had became the key components in maintaining the power system to behave smartly by the demand side management. On the other hand, the sudden loss of Generation due to natural calamities like cyclones, will become a great burden on the power system. And thus the power system will try to be out of synchronization and leads to the problem of unstable. This is because of high penetration of Renewable power source like solar, wind etc...in to the Grid. Hence this type of scenario results in BLACKOUT of the power system which means the whole power system is going to be shut down and the whole world will remain in the darkness. To avoid the above situation, Demand Side Management is the best solution which is possible with controllable loads and load controller together called as Smart meter. This will play a key role is retaining the system frequency and LOAD FREQUENCYCONTROL will be improved further. In this project, we are going to simulate the simulink model of power system LOAD FREQUENCY CONTROL WITH CONTROLLABLE LOADS in MATLAB
