Automatic Generation Control Part II-Digital Control Techniques

Abstract

Techniques are described for the application of automatic digital generation control and for the evaluation of performance from indices which measure the effectiveness of control relative to the control effort. The basic objectives of generation control are reviewed and non-conventional control logic is described with non-linear filtering features designed to be effective in following basic load trends and large deviations while reducing control action in response to the higher frequency random components. Examples of simulations are included.
