Load Frequency Control-I
OBJECTIVES
After reading this chapter, you should be able to be able to:
- study the governing characteristics of a generator
- study the load frequency control (LFC)
- develop the mathematical models for different components of a power system
- observe the steady state and dynamic analysis of a single-area power system with and without integral control
7.1 INTRODUCTION
In a power system, both active and reactive power demands are never steady and they continually change with the rising or falling trend. Steam input to turbo-generators or water input to hydro-generators must, therefore, be continuously regulated to match the active power demand, failing which the machine speed will vary with consequent change in frequency ...
