Abstract

The design of load frequency control (LFC) for the hydro-hydro power system suffers from poor dynamic performance owing to large time constants associated with hydro power generations. The dynamic performance of the hydro-hydro power system can be improved using a thyristor control phase shifter (TCPS) and energy storage battery system. This paper presents a comprehensive study on LFC of an interconnected hydro-hydro power system having TCPS in series with the tie-line and redox flow battery (RBF) at the terminal of one area through few and available state technique, i.e. the output feedback technique. The LFC are designed with the help of few and available states and the performance is judged for typical demand change in the power system area and the results are matched with the LFC obtained via a technique that require all system states, i.e. full state feedback in order to justify the effectiveness of the designed LFC in terms of achieved feedback gains, eigenvalues and the dynamic system responses.
