Abstract

The interconnected energy system with merging of renewable energy sources such as solar power resulting into an extremely non-linear system and due to which the frequency and power interchange fluctuations becomes serious concerns for power system operators due to variable loading conditions of an energy delivery system. Hence, this paper seeks to study the integration of PV based power generation with thermal power plant resulting into an interconnected energy system for frequency regulation of modern energy system for variable loading conditions. Furthermore, several structures of secondary control actions are also design and checked for frequency regulation studies of interconnected solar thermal system. The gains of secondary control actions are evaluated using diverse tuning techniques and the comparative analysis of all control designs are presented to bring back the frequency and tie-line power fluctuations back to original value and to analyze the effective control action for frequency regulation of interconnected PV thermal power system.
