Abstract

A distributed control law based on Model predictive Control (MPC) scheme is proposed for secondary frequency control in a deregulated market, which utilizes Demand Response (DR) along with Automatic generation Control (AGC). The proposed strategy of combining DR and AGC is termed as Load frequency Control (LFC) in the paper. The main contribution of the paper focuses on developing a model for LFC, which combines DR as well as Governor Response (GR) as manipulated variables. The new model is then used in an embedded integrator based distributed MPC algorithm to optimally choose between the GR and DR for the frequency regulation within system's constraints and cost. The algorithm is tested on a system with two areas interconnected by means of a tie line and shows that by choosing DR the frequency response not only improves but also the cost of frequency regulation reduces. © 2017 IEEE.
