Robust analysis and design of load frequency controller for power systems

Robust load frequency control for power systems is discussed. A detailed robustness analysis of the existing control laws shows that parameter variation is not a critical issue but more attention should be paid to the unmodeled dynamics in robust load frequency controller design. A new robust load frequency control method is then proposed considering the unmodeled dynamics of power systems. Finally, a new configuration is proposed to overcome the effects of generation rate constraints (GRC). Simulation results show that the design method and the anti-GRC configuration are effective.
