Abstract
This article presents the design of optimal automatic generation control regulators for an interconnected power system incorporating dynamic participation of doubly fed induction generator based wind turbines. Two power system models are identified for the investigations. Power system model 1 is a two-area interconnected power system consisting of identical plants with non-reheat turbines, whereas power system model 2 consists of identical plants with non-reheat turbines and dynamic participation of doubly fed induction generator based wind turbines in both areas. An AC tie-line is used as area interconnection in both power system models. The designed optimal automatic generation control regulators are implemented, and the system dynamic responses for various system states are obtained considering a 1% load disturbance in one of the areas. The pattern of closed-loop eigenvalues is also determined to investigate system stability. From the investigations carried out in the work, it is inferred that the incorporation of doubly fed induction generator based wind turbines in both areas has appreciably improved the dynamic performance of the system under consideration. Moreover, system stability is ensured for both power system models.
