Performance and Control Enhancement of Two Area Load Frequency Control Using Tandem Compound Turbine

Load frequency control is a virtual challenging problem in a realistic complex power system network. Power demand on the grid is unpredictably varying in nature and consequently grid frequency also varies. To alleviate frequency fluctuations on the grid, the renewable energy resources are interfaced with the grid. Renewable resources are abundant and eco-friendly, but the power generation from these sources is intermittent in nature. To provide major contribution of power generation from the renewable energy resources and to reduce cost of unit power generation in control areas, an effective controller is required. Although some controllers will reduce the errors in the system, they will not enhance the system performance. However, some controllers may affect the system. In order to enhance the system performance traditional turbine is replaced with two stage tandem compound turbine (TDC).By incorporating the TDC, the system performance is greatly improvised and it is shown by the help of Performance Indices. The system is verified by Matlab/Simulink
