LFC of DFIG based Two Area System using TCPS, SSSC and SMES

Abstract

The frequency and tie-line power in a system varies as the load changes. Therefore in order to damp the frequency, Load Frequency Control (LFC) is used. The function of the LFC is to minimizes the transient deviation and to make the steady state change in frequency, zero. This paper presents a Load frequency control (LFC) of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based two area system using Thyristor Controlled Phase Shifter (TCPS), Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) and Superconducting Magnetic Energy storage (SMES). Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices and SMES are used to damp out the frequency oscillations effectively in a power system. In order to maintain the system frequency at nominal value and the oscillations to settle down quickly a fast acting controller is desirable. In this paper a MATLAB based PID controller has been proposed in order to minimize the damping oscillation of the two-area interconnected power system. The results obtained with various combinations are presented and the results were encouraging.
