Abstract The prime objective of the proposed research work is to study the frequency response of a wind plant integrated two area power system under sudden load disturbances when considered under deregulated market environment. The thermal power system has been modelled with suitable generation constraint and governor dead bands. Erratic behaviour of wind power makes the power system very sensitive to frequency deviations and proper frequency control is needed for stability. A new tilted integral derivative controller (TID) with type II fuzzy controller is considered as secondary controller for minimizing frequency fluctuations. The gains of the controller are set at an optimal value with the help of newly designed hybrid Dragonfly algorithm–Whale optimization algorithm for proper control action. System dynamic performance with and without renewable penetration is studied and robustness of the proposed controller is established under various market conditions and varying renewable power integration.

Automatic Generation Control of two area multi unit interconnected thermal power system with dynamic participation of Doubly Fed Induction Generator based on the wind turbines. In this work two areas consisting of three unequal turbines both areas are connected to the DFIG based wind turbine. Area 1 consisting of three reheat turbines with Doubly Fed Induction Generator based on wind turbine and area2 consisting of three non reheat turbines with Doubly Fed Induction Generator based on wind turbine and two areas interconnected by tie line. Two different controllers are used, namely PID and cascaded PD-PI controllers. The controllers effectively tuned by hybridization algorithm. 1% step load disturbance is applied in area 1 for analyzing the dynamic performance. The performance of two area multi-unit power system is done in MATLAB/SIMILINK software. The dynamic response of the considered system is compared in terms of undershoots, overshoot and settling times

In this article, a robust active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) is proposed for load frequency control (LFC) of an interconnected multi-area power system. Two widely employed test systems, namely, two-areas and four-areas hydro-thermal power utilities are concerned to validate the efficacy of the suggested method. To enhance the performance of the system, series flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) like thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC) and thyristor controlled phase shifter (TCPS) are considered. The simulation results indicated that the system performance is improved with the inclusion of FACTS devices. The adjustable parameters of the proposed FACTS controllers are optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm employing an Integral of Time multiplied Absolute Error (ITAE) criterion. The investigations showed  that the proposed controller provides better dynamic performance than others from the point of view of settling time, peak over/undershoot. Finally, the sensitivity analysis of the system is inspected by varying the system parameters and operating load conditions from their pre-specified values. It is observed that the suggested controller based optimization algorithm is robust and performs satisfactorily with the variations in operating load conditions, system parameters and load patterns.

Background & Objectives: The global power system is in a state of continuous evolution, incorporating more and more renewable energy systems. The converter-based systems are void of inherent inertia control behavior and are unable to curb minor frequency deviations. The traditional power system, on the other hand, is made up majorly of synchronous generators that have their inertia and governor response for frequency control. For improved inertial and primary frequency response, the existing frequency control methods need to be modified and an additional power reserve is to be maintained mandatorily for this purpose. Energy self-sufficient renewable distributed generator systems can be made possible through optimum active power control techniques. Also, when major global blackouts were analyzed for causes, solutions, and precautions, load shedding techniques were found to be a useful tool to prevent frequency collapse due to power imbalances. The pre-existing load shedding techniques were designed for traditional power systems and were tuned to eliminate low inertia generators as the first step to system stability restoration. To incorporate emerging energy possibilities, the changes in the mixed power system must be addressed and new frequency control capabilities of these systems must be researched. Discussion: In this paper, the power reserve control schemes that enable frequency regulation in the widely incorporated solar photovoltaic and wind turbine generating systems are discussed. Techniques for Under Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) that can be effectively implemented in renewable energy enabled micro-grid environment for frequency regulation are also briefly discussed. The paper intends to study frequency control schemes and technologies that promote the development of self- sustaining micro-grids. Conclusion: The area of renewable energy research is fast emerging with immense scope for future developments. The comprehensive literature study confirms the possibilities of frequency and inertia response enhancement through optimum energy conservation and control of distributed energy systems.

Wind farms can contribute to ancillary services to the power system, by advancing and adopting new control techniques in existing, and also in new, wind turbine generator systems. One of the most important aspects of ancillary service related to wind farms is frequency regulation, which is partitioned into inertial response, primary control, and supplementary control or automatic generation control (AGC). The contribution of wind farms for the first two is well addressed in literature; however, the AGC and its associated controls require more attention. In this paper, in the first step, the contribution of wind farms in supplementary/load frequency control of AGC is overviewed. As second step, a fractional order proportional-integral-differential (FOPID) controller is proposed to control the governor speed of wind turbine to contribute to the AGC. The performance of FOPID controller is compared with classic proportional-integral-differential (PID) controller, to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed control method in the frequency regulation of a two-area power system. Furthermore, the effect of penetration level of wind farms on the load frequency control is analyzed.

This paper presents a fuzzy logic controller for load frequency control (LFC) of multi-area interconnected power system. The study has been designed for a three area interconnected thermal power stations with generation rate constraint (GRC). Simulation results of the proposed fuzzy controller are presented and it has been shown that proposed controller can generate the good dynamic response following a step load change. Robustness of proposed controller is achieved by analyzing the system response with varying system parameters.
