Abstract
Active power balance and frequency control are important tasks in the daily management of a power system. With the integration of several microgrids in the modern power system, the balancing of sources of energy has become a major concern for electrical power engineers and researchers worldwide. New power systems require more flexibility in optimization and control design to ensure their ability to maintain the balance between generation and load of the system. The present paper discusses an optimal control design for minimization of the power flow in tie-lines and frequency deviations in the microgrid, which will lead to power balance between the generation and load demand of the system. The system being studied consists of two microgrids, each made up of a wind farm, conventional power system (large hydro or thermal plant), photovoltaic system, battery energy storage system and the system load. Optimal control theory is applied to control the power flow between two microgrids. The Matlab environment is used for simulations.
