LFC model for multi-area power systems considering dynamic demand response

Dynamic demand response (DR) is an integral part of ancillary services markets. The integration of dynamic DR control loop into the conventional load frequency control (LFC) model is presented by the authors in [1]. Extensive analytical analyses were carried out on single-area power system in previous study. In this paper, the idea is expanded to a general multi-area interconnected power system. Then, impacts of the proposed LFC-DR on the dynamic performance of the multi-area power systems in different conditions are simulated. Simulation results show a superior performance of the LFC-DR model for different conditions and power system models.
