This book closely examines the physical and engineering aspects of the power system frequency control design problem. What is more, it does so while providing a conceptual understanding of frequency regulation and application of robust control techniques.

Frequency control as a major function of automatic generation control is one of the important control problems in electric power system design and operation, and is becoming more signi?cant today because of the increasing size, changing structure, emerging new uncertainties, environmental constraints and the complexity of power systems. In the last two decades, many studies have focused on damping control and vo- age stability and the related issues, but there has been much less work on the power system frequency control analysis and synthesis. While some aspects of frequency control have been illustrated along with individual chapters, many conferences and technical papers, a comprehensive and sensible practical explanation of robust f- quency control in a book form is necessary. This book provides a thorough understanding of the basic principles of power system frequency behaviour in wide range of operating conditions. It uses simple frequency response models, control structures and mathematical algorithms to adapt modern robust control theorems with frequency control issue and conceptual exp- nations. Most developed control strategies are examined by real-time simulations. Practical methods for computer analysis and design are emphasized. This book emphasizes the physical and engineering aspects of the power s- tem frequency control design problem, providing a conceptual understanding of frequency regulation, and application of robust control techniques. The main aim is to develop an appropriate intuition relative to the robust load frequency regulation problem in real-world power systems, rather than to describe sophisticated mat- matical analytical methods.

Klappentext

This book emphasizes the physical and engineering aspects of the power system frequency control design problem while providing a conceptual understanding of frequency regulation and application of robust control techniques. The material develops an appropriate intuition method relative to the robust load frequency regulation problem in real-world power systems, rather than describing mathematical analytical methods. The simplest possible frequency response models and control structures are used for conceptual explanations and practical control design. The book summarizes the author's long term research outcomes, contributions and experiences with power system frequency regulation during more than a decade of academic and working activities in Iran, Japan, and Australia. TOC:Power System Control: An Overview.- Real Power Compensation and Frequency Control.- Frequency Response Characteristics and Dynamic Performance.- PI Based Frequency Control Design.- Frequency Regulation with Time Delays.- Multi-Objective Control Based Frequency Regulation.- Agent Based Robust Frequency Regulation.- Application of Structured Singular Values in LFC Design.- Frequency Control in Emergency Conditions.- Renewable Energy Options and Frequency Regulation.
