Multi-area adaptive LFC developed for a comprehensive AGC simulator

A multiarea adaptive load frequency control (LFC) based on the self-tuning regulator (STR) for a comprehensive automatic generator control simulator (AGCS) is investigated. A multiarea AGCS comprising the dynamic as well as the static solutions of an interconnected power system has been implemented to accommodate a control center with adaptive LFC features. Simulation results from a three-area system driven by realistic load compositions show that the STR presents better tracking properties than the integral or combination integral and STR controllers.<
