Smart Grid Control

This chapter offers a comprehensive overview of the progressive developments in power system control within the dynamic landscape of smart grids. It discusses in detail the various control systems present in a power system and the importance of frequency control. Load Frequency Control (LFC) is used as the representative control system to analyze the various proposed algorithms. A detailed analysis of the Multi-Area LFC system model is derived based on the machine and system equations, and a state-space model is developed to represent the MA-LFC system. Since the system is a linearized one, we also introduce the nonlinearities. The model derived in this chapter will further be used as a representative system to build and analyze various algorithms in future chapters.
