Improved load-frequency self-tuning regulator

A self-tuning regulator is used as a local area controller for interconnected power systems. The area control error, composed of the area frequency error and the total tie-line power deviation for the area, is used as the regulator input variable. By changing the relative weights on the frequency error and on the tie-line power deviation according to their respective variances, it is possible to approach the minimum variances of the individual variables. The proposed regulator can handle unpredicable load changes of random magnitude and duration. Studies on a two-area power system show that with this regulator the system performance is improved over that with the traditional type of load-frequency controller. Because only locally available measurements are required for each area controller, the proposed regulator can be implemented easily using microprocessors.
