ABSTRACT
In an interconnected power system, the frequency deviates due to the mismatch between
load demand and generation and as well due to the power feeding to the grid from the
renewable energy sources that are highly intermittent. At generator side, the primary and
secondary loop of Automatic Generation Control (AGC) helps regulate deviations in the
frequency in a slow manner due to governor action. Moreover, Availability Based Tariff
Mechanism (ABT) has been implemented to regulate the grid frequency in which the
Unscheduled Interchange (UI) price is also closely linked with secondary frequency
control. Even smart controllers with different techniques for AGC operation are proposed
to regulate frequency on the generator side using different practices by the industries as
well as by researchers, and satisfactory results have no achieved. Also, due to new
policies of the government, such as price based AGC that considers generation marginal
cost and UI price, as well as the introduction of Electrical Vehicles (EVs) that can also
perform as a nonlinear load during their charging time, is proposed to regulate frequency.
Here, due to slow response of generators against sudden load variation, uncontracted
load, governor dead band, generation rate constraint and fluctuating power of grid-
connected due to renewable energy sources the actual system characteristics becomes
non-linear. Also, due to the frequent operation of the generator with these non-linearities,
there is unnecessary fuel consumption, increased wear and tear on generators and an
increase in UI prices of ABT. It also causes tripping of the generators sometimes.
In the present work, for improving existing AGC mechanism, the general framework for
deriving the state-space model of two area restructured power system having 2 numbers
of Generating Companies (GENCOs) with the thermal-thermal non-reheat unit in each
area, and 2 numbers of Distribution Companies (DISCOs) with renewable energy sources
have been considered. The model for UI price of ABT mechanism (CERC, 2016) has
been used to analyze AGC performance based on real-time price linked to frequency. The
marginal cost of the generator and UI price are considered for the price based operation
of the AGC. The fleet of Electrical Vehicles (EVs) operated by bidirectional charger
followed by battery charging/discharging characteristics considered. The suggested
diversified transmission link through which Load Frequency Control (LFC) simulated,
improves the Area Control Error (ACE) due to EVs.
xiv
AGC operation for two area restructured power system incorporated with renewable
energy source have simulated in MATLAB / Simulink environment with and without
EVs. The proposed concept has been shown to cope better than the existing AGC
mechanism. By comparing the results, the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme
for the reduction in the deviations of frequency, generator power and UI price has shown.
Normally, to charge and discharge the EV battery, PI controllers are used to tracking the
load continuously. But due to nonlinearity and uncertainty of load, performance of PI
controller becomes poor. So, fuzzy-based PI controllers are used. It can track better as
compared to PI controllers to reduce the frequency deviations and settling time too. The
comparative analysis between PI and Fuzzy PI controllers are presented.

CHAPTER 1
Introduction
1.1 Introduction
There are tremendous changes in electricity to generate, transmit and distribute in past
days. In the various parts around the world, an electrical grid is differentiated concerning
their design, ownership, operating process and pattern. An electricity utility market is a
monopoly under their control. These utilities are private or government-owned and
regulated by the government. The Indian government has started the “Power for All"
mission to give power supply to all the people. India has one “National Grid” with an
installed power generation capacity of 360.788 GW as on 31st August 2019. To operate
and control power in a large grid is centralized, secure, reliable and cost-effective. Since
a long time, economists of the electricity area had started thinking and questioning for
the market discipline-oriented operation. Presently, the electricity market is the open-
access market. For the transmission owning utilities, it is necessary to provide equal
access to third parties. It has made the competition possible.
1.2 Deregulation of A Power System
The process of changing the electricity rules and regulation of electricity is known as the
deregulation of a power system. It controls the electric industry and gives consumers the
option of power suppliers. So, the customers will be benefited to get electrical power with
a lower rate due to the price competition between electric industries. It improves the
process of use of electricity and economic efficiency. The common structural design of
the deregulation is presented in Fig 1.
The main objectives behind deregulation are:
➢ To supply power for all realistic load.
Introduction
2
➢ To encourage competition between generation and supply.
➢ To give quality service and continuous power supply.
The advantages associated with deregulation are:
➢ Efficient utilization of electric network capacity
➢ To optimize the supply of energy
➢ It clears the electricity rates to consumers.
➢ Reduction in electricity rates.
➢ Use of efficient technology by replacing old and bad technologies.
➢ Restructuring in price signal has improved the efficiency of usage.
➢ Improvement in the choice of the consumer to purchase electricity.
➢ Power will supply to a shortage area
➢ Ancillary services prices reduced.
1.3 Electricity Market Structural Design And Classification
1.3.1 Electricity Market Structural Design
There are four players such as GENCO, TRANSCO, DISCO & ISO in the electricity
market [237]. The market architecture of an IPS is presented in Fig. 1.1.
A. GENCOs: It is an independent entity and runs one or more generators. Generator
running schedule depends on the power bids in a competitive market. It can also
negotiate for power generation from others if their generation is not available.
B. TRANSCOs: These companies are the owners of the transmission line and
operated by themselves. It provides transmission line and electricity transport
from the generator to all customer. On behalf of their services, they seek a
transmission tariff.
C. DISCOs: The DISCOs operate the local electrical distribution system in their own
area. They purchase wholesale power from the spot market. Also, they purchase
power from the direct contracts between GENCOs and DISCOs.
D. ISO: It is taking care of reliable and harmless operation of IPS. It will not take
part in electricity market trading and run independently.
CHAPTER 1

E. Customers: The customers have various options to purchase power and use in
deregulation.
F. Retailers: It is the electric power retailer.

1.4 Market Classification
The markets are classified in two ways according to Power Market and the Time of
Operation.
1.4.1 Classification According to Power Market
The classification of the market is as follows.
Energy market: A market in which electricity trading is competitive is known
as an energy market. This centralizes mechanism makes energy trading easier
between buyers and suppliers. After the submission of bids by sellers and buyers,
the electricity market clearing price will determine. Electrical energy rates are
reliable for market participants as well as consumers.
Introduction
4
Transmission market: In this market, there is a competition among power
suppliers, the demand of distributors and large users. In the market, traded
commodity is the right of the transmission system operator. The rights to extract
and inject are given to its holder.
Ancillary Services Market: For system security and reliability, these services
are required. There are two-parts in the bid of ancillary services such as capacity
bid and ancillary bid [182].
1.4.1 Classification According to the Time of Operation
Forward Market: Bilateral contracts exist in this market operation. It is
classified into two types. One is a day-ahead type market. In which, sellers bid
different prices for the schedule to supply. Here, on hourly basis prices are
determined. The sellers will give the resources for the sold power and buyers
will give the delivery point to purchase the power. Second is the hourly type
market which is same as the day-ahead type market.
Spot Market: It is a real-time based market which is generally day-ahead. The
equilibrium between supply and load must maintain during real-time for the
reliability of the power supply. Energy and Ancillary services both can offer a
trade-in this market.
Wholesale Electricity Market: It creates a competitive environment. Due to the
interaction between demand and supply, the rates are determined in the
wholesale market.
Retail Electricity Market: In the retail market, the entire consumers have
directly or via the retailer to access opposing generators. The generation and
retailing are separated in this way.
Real-time market: In real-time, generation-demand balance must maintain. The
real-time market is required because of different values of power generation,
transmission and load as compared to the spot market and forward market.
CHAPTER 1
5
Pool Market: In this market, mainly customer (buyer) and supplier (seller) are
participating. Both will submit bids and prices of energy into the pool. System
Operator (SO) will determine locational marginal prices.
Bilateral Market: In this market, buyer and seller both will participate in
delivering and receipt of power. This process may be direct or through some
broker. The role of SO is only to verify the availability of sufficient transmission
capacity for the execution of the transaction.
1.5 Ancillary Services (ASs)
Ancillary services help to support the interconnected grid to transmit reliable, quality and
secure power [182]. On 10th April 2013 CERC has introduced different ASs for the
country power market. It is designed for supplementing efforts to keep power quality,
reliability and safety of the interconnected grid. Worldwide, the ASs becomes most
popular in the electricity supply system. Also, in India, along with the grid restructuring,
ancillary services such as frequency stability, voltage stability, generation storages,
scheduling, and dispatch are introduced and developed. An introduction of the ASs in an
effective way is discussed in [267]. Ancillary services are classified as follows.
1.5.1 Types of ASs.
1. Ancillary Services to control Frequency
2. Ancillary Services to regulate the grid Network
1.5.1.1 Ancillary Services to Control Frequency
It maintains the frequency in the preferred range. The generation and load should be
balanced in real-time. Generators are running under the AGC loop help to normalize the
frequency. AGC loop works in mainly three levels of control, (a) Primary loop of
frequency control with a reaction period from 5 to 10 seconds, (b) Secondary loop of
frequency control with a reaction period from 10 seconds to 10 minutes and (c)
Emergency / Tertiary loop of frequency control with a reaction period from 10 to 30
Introduction
6
minutes. The governors by AGC and demand-side management both help to regulate
frequency.
1.5.1.2 Ancillary Services to Control Power System Network
The power system network parameter in a prescribed range is maintained. The
Generators, Synchronous Condensers, FACTS devices, Capacitors, Inductors and DERs
help to provide network-controlled services. The network-controlled ancillary service is
also distributed for the following purpose.
a) Power flow control: - This service use in the IPS for power flow control.
b) Voltage control: - This service use to keep the voltage within a specified range,
the primary, secondary and tertiary loop helps to maintain voltage.
c) System restart: - These types of services are hold for emergency conditions. It
helps to restart the system from blackout situations. System backup capacity is
required to return the system into normal operating mode, after a partial or major
blackout.
Based on the requirement of the service, ancillary services are further classified as
follows.
• Services essential to do a daily operation.
• Services essential to stop unfortunate accidents.
• Services essential to restore all systems after the blackout.
1.5.2 Functions of ASs
The functions of Ass are listed below.
i) Regulation: - To keep generation-demand balance minute to minute.
ii) Load following: - To do load-generation equilibrium at the end of the scheduling
period.
iii) Operating reserve: To provide the unloaded generators interconnected with grid
immediately in case of transmission or generation outages.
iv) Provide support to regulate voltage and reactive power: Regulation of voltage by
managing the reactive power with the help of capacitor banks and generator.
v) System black start capability:- Generation unit can restart the generation due to
blackout without any help from the grid side. Also, to help another unit to start.
CHAPTER 1
7
vi) Network stability services: - Give support from generation sources for the stability
of the transmission line by using fast responding equipment.
1.5.3 Driving Force for Development and Need of Ass for India
The following are the driving force for the existence of ASs in the Indian power
market.
i) Various buyers as well as sellers of power in the electrical power market.
ii) Restructuring of a power system.
iii) Shortage of enough reserves.
iv) Frequency controller.
v) The slow action of AGC loops such as primary, secondary, and tertiary.
vi) Sudden load shedding.
vii) Power shortage during peak hours.
1.5.4 Issues with the Growth of AS
1. Power cuts in power system:- Power cuts are due to the reasons such as inadequate
infrastructure, variable load condition and the inability of DISCOs to purchase
expensive power, etc.
2. Fluctuating nature of renewable power:- Due to the variable nature of renewable
power, it affects scheduling and pricing. Also, the prediction of renewable power
is difficult, which increases more challenges to regulate the frequency.
3. Power requirement during peak hour:- Because of the uncertain rise in the demand
during peak hours, the generation-demand imbalance creates. So, the stored
power is required.
4. Network issues: - Damage in the network due to thermal overload, instability of
frequency and voltage.
5. Identify ancillary service for effective solution:- Identification required ancillary
service to maintain system reliability. Also, provision of payment against
ancillary services.
Introduction

1.5.5 Benefits of Ancillary Services
The ancillary services help to fulfill the customer electricity requirement, gives financial
inspiration and utilization of distributed sources potential, thus use undispatched
generation. It helps to stabilize the grid more stable. The performance of ancillary
services discussed in detail [75]. The following are the steps to control the issues faced
in providing AS.
1. To make regulatory policy to design and procure market mechanism.
2. To prepare the framework of AS providers.
3. The framework of policy to provide ancillary services, the rule framework for the
provision of AS.
4. Guideline of tariffs for power procurement aspects so that price can be affordable
to the consumer.
5. FGMO helps to regulate frequency. Distributed generation sources can also
participate in frequency regulation as an ancillary service.
Because of assorted nature and requirements of the Indian power sector, it is a
requirement to increase the reliability and quality of power system network.
1.6 Issues in Indian Power Sector
Worldwide India is third in electricity production and fourth in consumption [297]. India
has 319.60 GW installed generating capacity [298] and 360.788 GW as on 31st August
2019. The following issues are noted in the Indian power system.
Power Generation
In India, NTPC is the biggest power generation company from coal. It has an
installed capacity of 55126 MW, declared in the annual audit report of May 2019.
Up to 2032, the capacity will expand 128000 MW [300]. Because of poor coal
quality and insufficient stock, the plant load factor is low [299]. Also, India lacks
private investment in the coal sector. There is a monopoly in the production of
coal by Coal Indian limited. Because of these reasons, the utilization rate of
operational plants will reduce the generated capacity and results in poor financial
growth.
CHAPTER 1
9
Power Transmission
India’s largest power transmission utility is the Power Grid Corporation of India
(PGCI) [303]. It has a transmission capacity of 90650 MW as on February 2019.
It manages the grid through National Load Dispatch Centre (NLDC) at a national
and regional level grid. The issues at this level are the design of tariff rates,
Investment and to allot space and media for the transmission of the electric power
[302].
Power Distribution
As per electricity Act 2003 in Open Access market customer and DISCOs can
buy electric power directly from the generating companies. But awareness at
costumer level is required. One of the salient features in the open-access market
is the competition between the utilities. Major issues in the power distribution are
the reduction in the technical and commercial losses, power quality, availability
of independent feeder, automation for power distribution and availability based
tariff [301].
1.7 Challenges in the Indian Power Sector
In India, the total generating capacity was 157 GW on 31st March 2010. It increased to
360 GW in 2019. There is a drastic increase in demand, and the power shortage will be
there in the near future [47].
A. Demand supply gap
India has increased peak demand recorded from 119 GW in 2009 to 183 GW in 2019.
The demand has continuously increased, as shown in Fig. A.5 (Appendix A). In 2009
the peak demand and the met peak demand were 119 GW and 104 GW. The deficits were
-12.7%. In 2019 the peak demand was 183 GW and met peak demand was 182 GW with
the deficits -0.7%. Day by day, the generation has to increase against the demand.
Presently, the deficits are reducing, as shown in Fig. A.6 (Appendix A).
Introduction
10
B. Huge Transmission & Distribution Losses
Transmission and Distribution Losses during the year 2012-13 was 23.04 %. Every year
the losses are reduced. In the year of 2016-17 losses were 21.42%. Statistics of
Transmission and Distribution Losses is presented in Fig. A.9 (Appendix A).
1.8 Frequency Regulation in Indian Power System
In an interconnected power system, unexpected demand variation causes generation-
demand imbalance. It results in the fluctuations of frequency from its fundamental value.
It affects power system operation and control. Also, affects the reliability and security of
the grid. It reduces the efficiency of the network by damage in the equipment, reduces
the load efficiency, and increases the overloading of overhead lines and triggering the
protective systems. The grid frequency can control by controlling the speed of the
generator. So, it can maintain by regulating the speed of the generator. The governor
mechanism regulates the speed. The real-time speed of the machine is sense and changes
in speed in the form of error signal are generated. Following the error signal, an integral
controller helps to control the turbine input by moving the steam valve.
In the AGC operation, generator runs constantly to follow the load. An expense will be
less in AGC operation. The AGC stabilize the fluctuations in frequency as well as tie-
line flow. In the AGC process, there are mainly two frequency loops as shown in Fig. 1.2
A first control loop is primary control loop operates in a self-regulating mode to regulate
frequency error. This loop attends normal frequency deviations. But, the frequency
cannot be regulated fully due to the governor slow response [261][125]. After a few
seconds, the secondary control loop will operate for the control of remaining fluctuations
in frequency and power. In this loop, the controller with the integral control helps to
minimize the error. It is also defined as a supplementary control loop or LFC loop. Due
to some reasons such as loss of generation, load shedding or some fault, there is a major
inequity between generation and load. It creates rapid changes in frequency. The
emergency control loop will operate to establish frequency. The mathematical modeling
for the AGC operation is given in Appendix B.

1.8.1 Primary Control Loop
Primary control loop makes initial coarse adjustment of frequency. It reacts between 2 to
20 seconds (depending on the type of turbine) to adjust turbine mechanical torque against
load variation. The governor senses the variation in the speed. Following the changes in
the speed, the hydraulic amplifier generates necessary mechanical forces for the
movement of the main valve. The mechanical power regulated by moving (open or close)
the valve. By varying the turbine power, the frequency can regulate. The input (steam or
water) of the prime mover is regulated constantly against the frequent changes in the
frequency. In India, the speed governors of generators were allowed to respond with
frequency ranges from 47.5 to 51.5 Hz under the AGC operation to regulate frequency
using tie-line bias control [35]. Purpose of AGC to control megawatt is discussed in
[203].
1.8.2 Secondary Control Loop
It is also known as LFC which has a key role during AGC operation. This loop is
performing its function via frequency deviation. The resulting signal generated from the
dynamic controller helps to change the speed of the speed changer. The speed changer
generates an error signal to operate the governor. The error signal is used to restore the
frequency.
1.8.3 Emergency Control
During the events such as load shedding, emergency control action should perform to
avoid the risk of generation loss or system shutdown. Due to the fall in the frequency
Introduction
12
below 50 Hz, the load shedding would be used. It is an emergency control action by
curtailing system load to maintain system reliability.
In Fig. 1.3 operation of primary, secondary and emergency control loops are presented.
All generators will react quickly for the event 1. Then the system frequency normalizes
with a fixed value, but due to the droop in the generator, the frequency will settle down
on different value. The value of set frequency is proportionate to the changes. Due to the
different value of set frequency, the power will flow on tie-line. It will differ from
scheduled value. In event 1, fall out in the frequency is not very fast, and the AGC system
will get enough time to regain the frequency by balancing the power. As observed from
event 2, the fallout in the frequency is very fast, and if it crosses the permissible limit,
then emergency control actions such as load shedding will initiate. Emergency control is
another level of control in AGC operation. In case of insufficient secondary reserves,
sometimes there will meet a requirement to trip the power, redistribute the output of the
generator or control from the demand side.
FIGURE 1.3 Operation of AGC loops.
1.9 ABT Mechanism
In July 2002 the ABT introduced [29]. There is a total of three charges such as Capacity
charge, Energy charge and UI charge. The scheme named availability because the
generating company will be paid higher if the average real availability of the plant is
higher than real availability and payment will lower if an average actual availability
achieved is lower.
CHAPTER 1
13
A. Capacity Charge (Fixed Charge):
It is associated with the plant accessibility such as its ability to transport power on a daily
basis.
The yearly payment to the generating company is depending on the plant availability.
B. Energy Charge (Variable Charges):
In the power plant, the cost of fuel is a variable for power generation. It is according to
the scheduled generation as a substitute of actual generation. So its name is a variable
charge.
C. Unscheduled Interchange (UI) Charge:
For the frequency greater than 50 Hz, the UI rates are low and frequency less than 50 Hz
UI rates are high. In each 15-minute time block deviations has been recorded by ABT
meters. User has to pay UI charge in case of over drawl. During the low-frequency
condition high UI charge applied, which controls the excess drawl and low throughout
high-frequency situation means excess energy in the grid.
Advantages of ABT Mechanism
It plays a role dramatically in the operation of Indian regional grid.
1. ABT mechanism improves grid discipline by controlling the grid parameters.
2. It limits the high-frequency period.
3. Provides better grid discipline by controlling the grid parameters.
4. In real-time, it is possible to make the load and generation balance.
5. It provides the facility of over drawls / under drawls within the frequency band.
A state will be benefited by overdrawing from the grid during high frequency.
6. It allows the bilateral transaction among the states.
7. Utilization of hydel resources during the high cost of power due to frequency-
based UI price and incremental cost.
8. Intra-regional trading of power is possible.
9. In balancing the generation and load.
Introduction
14
10. Improve the output capability of the plant by providing incentives during peak
hours.
11. Fixed charges are applicable based on the availability, and the variable charge
will be applicable during off-peak hours.
12. Lowering in the frequency is due to the over drawl during the peak hours. By the
high rate of UI charges during peak hours low-frequency problem is solved.
1.10 UI modelling
In India, ABT mechanism is applied by CERC for pricing bulk power. Out of all three
components, the third component UI Charge is linked to frequency. UI rates will be low
when the frequency is more that 50 Hz and UI rates are higher for the frequency below
50 Hz. ABT meters record deviations from the schedule in 15-minute time blocks. For
price based operation, data of UI curve from CERC, 2016 are used (see Fig. 1.4), where
the set frequency ranges between 49.7 and 50.05 Hz. For the frequency range between
50.05 Hz to 50.00 Hz, the charges for each 0.01 Hz step is equivalent to 35.60 paisa /
kWh and 20.84 paisa / kWh in the frequency range below 50 Hz to below 49.7 Hz.

1.11 A Detail Description of the State of the Art of the Research
Worldwide electric power utilities had adopted the deregulated market scenario and the
restructuring process is undergoing [233]. The GENCOs, TRANSCOs, DISCOs as well
as ISOs are the individual entities in the restructured power system. In the current state
DISCOs having the authorization to do a deal with the same area GENCOs. It is known
CHAPTER 1
15
as “Poolco Based Transaction” and also with any other control areas which are known as
“Bilateral Transaction”. The entire contract will in the supervision of ISO. For reliability
of power supply, many ancillary services such as reactive power control, voltage stability,
and minimization of transmission losses, load balancing, scheduling, dispatch and energy
balancing have been provided by system operators. In such a situation either ISO or TSO
has been entrusted with the deal of procurement of these services. It has been observed
that AGC, also known as “LFC” is widely accepted for ancillary service in practice
[289][41]. The various problems of LFC after deregulation has been discussed [224].
Operation of Price based AGC in a deregulated environment been encouraged as the
future business environment for electric utility [162] and the case study with different
load following contracts have been represented in [59]. Price based AGC outline is
reported in [212] by doing operational changes in the AGC for Bilateral as well as Poolco
based market. In a competitive electricity market, frequency regulation linked to price is
professionally used by investigators [291]. Under the ABT mechanism, the controller
purpose is to reduce the frequency variations and reschedule generating unit for the
economical operation. So, the frequency linked UI price with the generation marginal
cost can be included in the system running under a conventional AGC mechanism to
satisfy the objective. In this direction, Tyagi and Srivastava [287] have developed a
mathematical framework. In which the frequency is transformed into the UI price signal
in the secondary loop, which is known as ‘ABT loop’. Then UI price is matched with the
generator marginal cost, which produces an error signal ‘GCE’. This GEC helps to nullify
the frequency deviations followed to the reference power setting by the generation
control. But due to the UI price and marginal cost mismatch problem in running the
model. Modified GEC scheme has been proposed in [49] to over the above problem with
the GCE generation. Here, GEC is generated by comparing the UI cost, the marginal cost
and the reference UI price. This model has been checked under CERC 2009 regulations.
The GCE is the difference of either UI price and marginal cost or UI price and reference
UI price or sometimes even zero. If the frequency fluctuates from the rated value by
considering the fixed value of the UI prices with system marginal cost near to or more
than the reference UI price then, it can conclude that the control method is highly sensitive
for the variable values of the UI price and marginal cost. ABT based LFC loop for an IPS
presented in [112]. Also, in the multi-area network, the price based LFC is applied in
[94], but it not successful to normalize the frequency. It is concluded that by making the
Introduction

generation-load balance, the frequency deviations can nullify during the loading-
unloading condition. Big penalties to be paid by GENCO for inactive participation to
control frequency against load variation. During the day, for each 15 min duration, an
average frequency is monitored and the UI charges will be calculated against frequency
value. To minimize UI charges GENCO set the generation. By following this issue an
effort has been made to build up a new control design to reduce the UI prices and
generation fuel expenditure to normalize the frequency against deviations.
Still, the process is hard for the synchronous generator to track the load deviation
completely due to slow dynamic response [112]. Also, because of frequent power
changes with the integration of renewable energy sources, it has been difficult to regulate
frequency due to insufficient regulation reserve capacity and rapid power imbalance
[226][234]. Thermal and hydro units can be used to regulate frequency. Due to limited
regulation capacity, slow response according to the power demand changes and frequent
operation of generator decreases its life as well as efficiency [310]. Finally increases
generation cost, labor cost and maintenance cost due to wear and tear of generators [61].
Under these circumstances, a usual frequency control by the governor for rapid load
changes due to its slow response becomes very difficult. Also, sometimes either voltage
or frequency will fall out or the generator fails.
Based on recent literature so far, AGC has been reformulated in restructured environment
by implementing various methods like PSO [243], BFOA [141], artificial intelligence
methods like genetic algorithm [219], NN [27], fuzzy logic [142], distribution energy
storage technologies like BESS [252], Flywheel [307], super capacitor [186], LFC with
SMES [247], battery swapping station [15] and many more. Among this variety of
feasible solutions, BESS is an extensive choice and recent technological aspect now a
day due to quick and fast action for lessening overshoots of frequency deviations in the
restructuring of power system [85]. Electrical vehicles are large distributed battery energy
storage and will use broadly in upcoming transportation system [104] and has the
potential to provide the distributed spinning reserve to the power system. The Customer
side Electrical vehicles (EV) will use widely due to the limited life of petroleum products,
less battery charging cost and for the reduction in greenhouse gasses [182]. In [204]
potential to overcome load frequency control problem with an electric vehicle, An EV
swapping station [105] and energy storage system (BESS) with appropriate results [216]

has been discussed. In present smart grid power system, renewable power is intermittent
and there is a need for controllable energy storage. The battery of EV can be used to
combine as a buffer and energy storage against the energy generated by renewable plants
[85]. The V2G and G2V schedule can be managed by vehicle users [293] followed by
battery SOC condition to suppress frequency fluctuation in two area IPS [182]. To
enhance both performance and robustness for an operation of V2G and G2V mode a
bidirectional controller with scheduled charging is required. For the bidirectional
operation to track the load changes constantly bidirectional charge controllers are used in
practice.
In this work, the strategy for EV bidirectional operation of charger for load frequency
control by participating in AGC operation has been proposed and results with and without
an EV integration to load frequency control have been simulated.

CHAPTER 2
Review of Literature
Now days, LFC is very popular ancillary service in interconnected power system
functioning as reduction in the Generation Control Error (GCE). This presented chapter
over here refers worldwide history of various types of controllers and applied smart
control strategies in generation, transmission and distribution areas of IPS. Additionally,
in deregulated power system different types of energy storage at distribution area are
reviewed and highlighted for upcoming research work. It has been observed from
rigorous review of different research papers that in a smart-grid due to the RESs nature
and unpredictable daily as well as seasonal load variations an imbalance between supply
and demand has been created, which results in deviations in the frequency. After the
review of proposed paper, researchers can able to understand issues related to energy
storage at distribution end in the context of LFC.
2.1 Introduction
Today, the grid is a smart-grid. In a large grid, many types of power plants are connected
to supply power to the load. It becomes essential to maintain fluctuations in the frequency
as well as tie-line flow against load disturbance when more than one power systems are
connected. The frequency of network deviates, because of the unexpected load change.
The nature of RESs is uneven, which causes frequency and power deviations too. Much
research work has been carried on LFC issue of conventional power system as well as a
deregulated power system. Study based on LFC problem with different soft computing
techniques such as GA, NN, FG, PSO, BFP, TSA has been carried out. Also, many
researchers have tried to solve LFC problem using AC-DC tie line, FACTS, considering
communication delay, different learning techniques and different types of DESS. Further
study on communication delay, RESs penetration and need for electrical storage with
different types of storages have also been carried out. Storage potential in BESS as
CHAPTER 2
21
centralized and decentralized distributed electrical vehicles has found tremendous
potential to regulated frequency. Presently, in the competition of the deregulated power
system, different companies sell unbundled power with lower rates. Also, a lot of
ancillary service is introduced like voltage and frequency regulation, load balancing, peak
power savings, etc. LFC as ancillary services is becoming most important today. Here,
the LFC techniques with various control strategies are outlined.
2.2 LFC in Single and Multi Area Power System
The different techniques in single area network are presented. The LFC issue of single
area network with delay margin by using Lyapounuv theory with the dependent criterion
and LMIs techniques is represented [144]. Based on the comparative analysis the results
for single area network by consideration of GRC without the controller, full state
controller and with optimal output feedback are represented [264]. Lili Dong has
presented LFC in single area thermal system. It has reheat, non-reheat and hydraulic unit
considered. The design was based on active disturbance rejection control [69]. Other
approach of AGC with output vector control feedback theory with the inclusion of AC /
DC-link is presented in [126]. The LFC problem in a single area having hydro unit with
the multi-pipe scheme is presented [242]. Decentralize LFC for multi-area power system
also discussed [197].
The different techniques in multi area LFC are presented by authors. Conventional
controller using PID controller based application is presented for LFC [5] and PI based
LFC in a decentralized mode is also proposed by M. Aldeen [175]. Different approach
using sliding Mode is use to regulate frequency for a multi-area network [151]. In multi-
area network impact of time delay [117] during LFC operation and real-time
implementation are also important. Similarly, an impact due to communication delay is
very important, which is presented with results in [232] for three area thermal system.
There are lot of smart technologies are used for LFC such as AI. In this context in the
three area power system, GA based PI controller performance is presented by Fatemeh
Daneshfar [86]. Similarly, in this multi area power system intelligent approach using GA
based RF learning algorithm applied for LFC. Here, area participation factor is used to
from the participation of GENCOs [82]. An author of [36] has discussed LFC issue in
two area IPS considering with GRC and DB and the solution is proposed using the hybrid
evolutionary fuzzy PI controller. This fuzzy logic operated by GA is applied and analyzed
Review of Literature
22
for multi-area LFC problem with better performance [308]. The GA superiority is
presented by comparative study between GA and LMI technique [71].
Application of various distributed energy storage also presented for LFC. The redox flow
battery storage application for LFC operation with results is presented in [129]. Another
storage application in Multi-area is presented by three different controllers such as fuzzy-
based SMES, PI base SMES and without SMES for LFC [25]. By in synchronizing SMES
with SSPS, regulation of the frequency is possible [134]. In [33] Tripathi had represented
adaptive AGC control with SMES. The application of SMES as an adaptive controller
during LFC operation can reduce the deviations in the frequency [239]. The BESS helps
to suppress the deviations in the frequency [57].
AGC with generalized approach for multi-area system [204] and in a discreet mode with
ACE [184] is discussed. By this discreet controller the possibilities in LFC are presented
in [6]. Similarly, an application of variable structural controller for AGC operation can
be used [309], which is presented for hydro-thermal unit. In another way, two area IPS
in a decentralized control mode [4] with structural singular value is also presented [277].
The design during the operation of decentralized LFC in a multi-area IPS is presented in
[273]. In [100] decentralize LFC with Governor and Voltage controls were proposed. In
[150] Two area IPS with decentralized approach for frequency control is presented. In
two area LFC problem is solved in [223] with excitation control method and voltage
perturbation method. In two-area IPS, the LFC based on tie-line control with the
nonlinearity is addressed in [32], in this context the GRC [274] and GDB [246] are also
considered to optimize the LFC parameter. With this non linearity and by considering the
stochastic nature of the load, AGC operation for LFC in two area system is addressed by
Dorais wami [227]. Manual operation of AGC is also reported, where regulation error is
reduced by tuning the controller parameter with human experience [22]. But in the
manual operation requires large experience. The conventional AGC operation in a
thermal power plant having reheat unit is reported by Nanda [222] with stability and
optimal setting point of view. Moreover, the frequency instability [209] study is also
presented. The step response of the governor in hydro unit during AGC operation is
discussed [279].
CHAPTER 2
23
The LFC operation based on the Lyapunov method [99] is presented. Similarly, a bang-
bang LFC strategy based on the second method of Lyapunov for two area IPS is reported
in [98]. In [198] Two area power systems with trajectory sensitivity design for controller
gain tuning had been proposed. Multi-area power system with linear regulator theory
[194] had been discussed for load frequency control. Autonomous controller with single
phase inverter to control active as well as reactive power due to large disturbances has
been presented in [11]. Hierarchical optimal robust LFC is represented in [166]. An
author of [155] had presented a robust decentralized multi-area LFC problem. Chun-Feng
Lu had presented LFC operation in multi-area power system. The two areas IPS with
prediction of area generation are discussed in [103]. The mathematical model for
Megawatt control is presented in [205].
Due to the non-linear property of the grid-connected load, governor DB, and GRC, the
actual characteristic becomes non-linear from the system response. So, there is a
mismatch between the linear line bias characteristic and the response characteristic of
actual system. It increases in unwanted fuel expenditure and increased wear and tear on
generators.
2.3 LFC using Artificial Intelligent Techniques
2.3.1 Genetic Algorithm
GA is an optimization tool with the process of natural genetics. GA is mostly useful for
solving complex nonlinear optimization problems such as AGC. Normally, the GA tool
is used by researcher to optimize the gain value. GA tool with different techniques used
by different researchers is summarized below.
A comparative study between GA as an optimization tool and conventional Matrix-
Riccati based optimal control is reported by Ghosal [253]. Here, the successful results for
the optimized gain value are achieved using the GA tool. Similarly, GA based FG is used
for frequency regulation with multi-machine system [53-54]. The gain scheduling of PI
controller using GA based fuzzy logic rule-based system in a multi-area IPS reported
again by C. S. Chang [37]. This tool is also used to tuned PI controller gains [71], where
the robust LFC design method based on H∞ control with LMI techniques and GA tuned
PI controller are proposed. Here, the result revealed that robustness of performance of
Review of Literature
24
GALMI is almost the same as that of the robust H∞ controllers. In another paper [207]
GA based PI controller is applied for the EVs battery incorporation with the grid-
connected RES. A comparative study based on a hybrid FGPI controller and hybrid GA-
PSO optimization techniques is presented in [42]. Some researchers had work in hydro
unit also. Aditya has discussed the design of GA for two area hydropower system model
[14]. In the hydro-thermal unit, a continuous-discrete mode for AGC framework is
presented and also in the hydro unit digital computer, the GA application is identified
[55]. Least square algorithm using GA for achieving real-time parameters for the optimal
value of gain for LFC is reported in [164]. Author of [171] had presented the control
parameter optimization using the GA technique for robust decentralized frequency
stability.
2.3.2 Neural Network
NN works on prediction based theory and corrects nonlinear relationship between input
and output.
The NN is investigated as an intelligent controller in conjunction with standard adaptive
LFC [88]. Automatic LFC using NN is developed to control the steam and water flow
[7], where the flow controller regulates the speed of the generator, which helps to regulate
frequency and generator output power. During the flow controller operation
nonlinearities affect in the AGC performance. The impact of nonlinearities such as DB
and reheat in a two area system reported in [63]. The robust decentralized design for LFC
is presented in [107]. This training based controller for better performance of the adaptive
controller then the NN based adaptive scheme is presented in [278].
2.3.3 Fuzzy Logic
Fuzzy logic can solve LFC problem based on knowledge and experience. Many
researchers have presented the superiority of FG controller. The superiority of FG than
the classical integral controller is presented [142]. With the nonlinearity such as DB and
DRC, LFC problem is simulated in four area networks [38] and better results are obtained
using FGPI controller. Similarly, the fuzzy rule-based PI controller gain scheduling is
presented by Denna et al [43]. In AGC operation of two area thermal unit [80], the fuzzy
controller application to regulate frequency is reported in [81]. For AGC with three area
CHAPTER 2
25
power system, the PSO tuned FG controller used, which is based on GA [243]. Chia and
Chun, has given an idea of gain tuning using GA based FG controller for a two-area
having thermal unit [54]. Here, the non-linearities as governor DB and GRC were
considered for better performance of FG. The different study with robust decentralized
control scheme based on C-Means clustering discussed [269] with the nonlinearity as
GRC was considered.
2.4 LFC using other Soft Computing Techniques
2.4.1 Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)
PSO can be used on the concept of swarm intelligence. Highlights on PSO techniques
used by different researchers for better LFC operation are given below.
Aqeel S. Jaber has presented the PSO technique for LFC issue solution by tuning the
fuzzy logic input and output parameter [23]. For a hydropower plant, PSO and FG with
sliding mode control are presented in [229]. PSO technique is used by considering
parallel connected AC and HVDC tie line [254]. Author of [219] has presented hybrid
PSO for the tuning of PID controller gain value in the deregulated four-area system.
Based on the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system and PSO control scheme, LFC
dynamic response is simulated [251]. For two area IPS, the LFC using adaptive weighted
PSO and multi-objective PID controller is solved in [9].
2.4.2 Bacterial Foraging Algorithm (BFOA)
The BFOA theory is motivated by nature and operated in mainly four steps such as
swarming, duplication, removal and distribution [74]. Bacterial foraging is another
modern meta-heuristic method used to get solution of the complex problem. In context
to LFC, a comparative study of various integer order (IO) controllers are performed [257].
This integral controller and FOPID controller are compared for AGC operation. Here, the
thermal reheat unit and GRC are taken in multi-area for AGC performance. In [141]
Optimization for the governor speed regulation parameter (Ri) and frequency bias factor
(Bi) is evaluated. Moreover, the superiority of BFO against GA and classical optimization
techniques by gain tuning for the integral controller is presented. A similar approach of
using BFO algorithm to tune controller gain was also presented by many authors with the
Review of Literature
26
advantage of the proposed controller against conventional area controller and GA
optimized controller.
2.4.3 Tasu Search Algorithm (TSA)
The TSA initializes with some primary possible solution and tries to get a good result
based on hill-climbing algorithm. TSA uses past step to create a better solution. Saravuth
Pothiya has shown an innovative optimization method of an FGPI controller with the
multiple TSA [259]. The progress in learning of fuzzy rule-based system with the help of
heuristic symbolic is observed.
2.4.4 Other Optimization Control Techniques
The techniques such as Differential Evolution, mixed H2 / H∞ and LMI are reported by
various researchers listed below. By considering active power flow in [165] an FG rule-
based system was created for the selection of the finest controllers, its size of steps and
movements. In [177] M. Farahani S presented the method of optimized PID gains by the
LCOA to solve the LFC problem. LFC problem solutions with DE algorithm, which
optimize the PID gain [231]. It is noted that the controllers discussed are robust. The
parameters of the system and its operating range should wide from its nominal values.
Umesh Kumar Rout, have reported the PI controller performance analysis for AGC. The
operating of the PI controller is based on DE algorithm [288]. Similarly, Banaja Mohanty
controller parameters tuning of the DE algorithm highlighted and the comparative
analysis between DE, I, PI and PID with result is presented [31]. In thermal unit of single
area, for LFC a robust controller made by the Riccati-equation is used [101]. This Robust
controller using an m-synthesis approach, LFC in a deregulated IPS with thermal unit is
proposed [116]. A design of decentralized H∞ method for damping control of frequency
is discussed [30], which is in the LMI framework with the mixed-sensitivity formulation.
In deregulation with three areas, the LFC solution is suggested [119], where the mixed
H2 / H∞ robust control method is proposed. The design of the PI controller with H∞
static output feedback control theory is described for the LFC problem. The solution is
presented with the iterative LMI technique [294]. Robust controller design for LFC is
also reported [118][123].
CHAPTER 2
27
2.5 LFC with AC-DC Parallel Tie line
Researchers have highlighted an application of parallel AC-DC link for LFC [314]. In
which the HVDC link by using the centre of inertia (COI) signals is introduced, which
can keep a system frequency stable. In a deregulated multi-area system, parallel AC-
HVDC link considered to analyze the network dynamic behaviors. The performance of
LFC with parallel HVDC was found better than without HVDC. In [173] authors have
presented a wind turbine generator model delivered power via HVDC link controlled
through line commutated converter. Effectiveness of the inclusion of HVDC link for LFC
solution presented in [149][89]. The two and three area system with various subsystems
connected by asynchronous tie-lines is also reported [199].
2.6 LFC with Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS)
The FACTS controllers help to enhance the transmission line capacity. The FACTS
controllers also help to regulate frequency. Some reported literatures are listed as follows.
A comparative analysis of SMES-SMES, TCPS-SMES and SSSC – SMES in AGC in a
IPS consists of hydro-hydro unit to regulate frequency is reported by P.Bhatt[220]. The
SSSC can regulate LFC in deregulated IPS [64]. Moreover P. Bhatt has investigated the
LFC for multi-unit hydropower system and thermal-hydro mixed unit [218]. Coordinated
control between TCPS and SMES has kept. Using craziness based PSO the integral
controller gains as well as parameters of TCPS/SMES being optimized. For the
restructured power system with three area [106], the LFC problem solution is provided
by the use of TCPS. The AGC regulator is operated by SVC, which is reported in [2].
Also, the TCPS is proposed for the tie-line flow regulation. In [128] presents the design
based GA for the decentralized controller with and without redox flow batteries together
with TCPS.
2.7 LFC Based on Other theory
2.7.1 Different Feedback Theory
For the solution of LFC for hydro, thermal and gas turbine units by controlling the
governor speed with PI state feedback controller [160], which regulates the parameter
Review of Literature
28
(R) and participation factor in AGC. Shoorangiz Shams have presented Quantitative
feedback theory (QFT) method for LFC [260]. Here, the comparative study of the QFT
based proposed controllers and the conventional controller is given to prove the
superiority of QFT. Rakshani et al. had designed a linear quadratic regulator for
frequency regulation [73]. The proposed regulator results with, full state feedback and
state observer methods are carried out. In a deregulated environment a robust
decentralized LFC is reported [180], where the solved is provided using H2/H∞ control
technique.
2.7.2 Hierarchical Load Frequency Control
The two level of hierarchical control discussed in [180]. Here, the first level of control
for each area was obtained after incorporating local information along with the others
coming from the other areas. In the second control level, a global solution based on
coordination strategy and a robust controller was obtained. The structure for AGC is
presented [131] with the effect of the nonlinear filter on frequency deviation harmonics
in Spanish. One more hierarchical AGC operation was presented by Marinovici et al.
[141], where for primary frequency control, the robust controller in a decentralized
manner was proposed to eliminate the frequency fluctuations as well as tie-line
fluctuations against disturbances in a IPS. A special type of study of the data integrity
attack on AGC performance with the market of electricity operation was reported [263].
In which the capability to maintain frequency by control algorithm by detecting the attack
and mitigation is presented. It helps to remove attacks due to low false ramp. For the
regulation of tie-line power and frequency [97] pluralistic LFC method presented with
two control area such as real control area (RCA) and a virtual control area (VCA). By
considering AGC operation in three area power system both schemes of pluralistic and
hierarchical control were presented [28] by the simulated study.
2.7.3 LFC Using Internal Model Control
To reduce the problem complexity in AGC, this method is used. The power system grid
is a complex network, so the internal model control (IMC) scheme is applied in LFC to
regulate frequency fluctuations. Internal model control (IMC) was successfully applied
for AGC. Application of IMC based on two degrees of liberty concept in LFC problem
is presented [295] and in [255] second-order plus dead time (SOPDT) is used instead of
CHAPTER 2
29
the full order system. Another scheme of Model Predictive Controller (MPC) for AGC
operation is reported [26], which followed by a NN model predictive controller is
reported [15].
2.7.4 LFC Using Observer
In an LFC, a lot of component of the power system is monitored which are connected
directly or indirectly. Hence, the observer plays a vital role in LFC and observes minute
to minute deviations condition of every components to remain within the limit. The
advantages of observer concept were successfully used to solve load frequency control
problems [77]. Observer also helps in monitoring, in this context the problem of
measuring and monitoring all the state variables at all time, a reduced observer controller
is designed [77]. Multi-area LFC issue in a large IPS was solved by of reduced-order
observer [121]. Also, dynamic responses were enhanced in the deregulated system. LFC
in two area system using a PI feedback controller based on quasi – decentralized
functional observers (QDFOs) theory. Proposed QDFOs theory reduces the complexity
of the system [312], where LFC solution is presented using decentralized sliding mode
control in IPS.
2.8 LFC Based on by Consideration of Communication Delay
Open access strategy in restructured power system makes the LFC problem more
complex. To overcome this open communication infrastructure is required. The time
delay is not fixed in an open communication network as compared to a traditional closed
communication network. Hence, more accuracy can be achieved in the AGC operation
by considering the communication delay. AGC with communication delays is also
presented in [304][200]. In [30] ILMI algorithm followed by H2/H∞ control method with
communication delay is used for the LFC problem. The Lyaponuv – theory combined
with LMIs method for LFC is discussed in [163] with delay and results of the dynamic
analysis of the LFC and delay boundary was achieved. A robust method to achieve a PID
based LFC scheme with communication delays is reported in [56].
2.9 LFC based on Different Learning Techniques
Review of Literature
30
For machine learning, dynamic programming is used in the RF environment. With a
multi-agent RF approach [275], PI controllers gain is tuned for LFC in multi-area IPS
[82]. During AGC operation to solve the issues to dispatch generation command
hierarchical reinforcement learning technique can be used [282]. Presently, for
restructured power system operating under the bilateral contract, complete classifier
method by continuous-valued inputs for LFC is reported [87] to regulate frequency
deviations.
2.10 LFC with Distributed Energy Generation
Renewable Energy Sources (RES) are predominantly used as distributed energy sources
in a micro-grid and smart grid. On the other hand, a smart grid employs analog as well as
digital communication technologies. LFC problem has been discussed by various authors
as follows.
2.10.1 LFC in Micro Grid
A micro-grid is a group of generation from RES, energy storage, and loads. The detailed
study on LFC in micro-grid [70] and the for the smart-grid [124] are reported. From the
study the types of LFC in the micro grid are as follows: 1. LFC using analysis of small
signal and 2. LFC scheme based on tuning techniques of parameters.
The micro grid with WTG, PVs, DG, FC, and aqua-electrolyzer and energy storage
systems are developed for AGC in [160-161]. In smart grid, applications of the different
controllers such as conventional as well as smart controllers are reported by many
researchers. The Ziegler-Nichols for the fine-tuning of gain is used [91], where small
signal analysis using battery and flywheel is described based on parameter tuning. An
application of AI for LFC in micro-grid [90] is discussed. The FGPID as a AI controller
is superior then non-FGPID controller [91]. Another control strategy of an optimal
FGPID controller followed by the BCO technique for governor operation of diesel
generator and blade pitch angle control of wind turbine is presented [271]. For LFC
problems using smart techniques such as AI, FO, PSO and GA are also reported
simultaneously. A fuzzy neural control method of AI is used for the indication of the
SOC status during forecasting of load and generation data [70]. Here, in the micro grid
with the wind, solar, storage and load are considered. The operation of the combined
CHAPTER 2
31
sources in micro-grid creates the instability in voltage as well as frequency. For that in a
micro grid, a GDC scheme proposed [114] to overcome the problem. LFC solution for a
micro grid with a PV system is presented by MOO. In this, a load deviation index was
calculated using estimated load power. A low pass filter of second-order used to produce
base power from PV unit.
2.10.2 LFC in Smart Grid
In a smart grid, LFC is classified in two ways, LFC with the incorporation of (DR) and
LFC with a V2G control. LFC with the incorporation of DR and V2G is presented.
2.10.3 LFC with DR
The DR control strategy consists of four main participants such as the balancing
authority, a DR aggregator and the distribution utility with customers. The DR control
strategy which is mentioned to as CDLC. It includes three operating modes such as
normal operation, frequency deviation range followed by AHC control, frequency and
returned to its normal value followed by step by step load manipulation strategy.
The power balance during AGC operation by DDC is reported by Devika Jay [66], where
the PI controller parameters were optimized using Lyapunov technique. Another DP
response application [169] with the coordination of different spinning reserve constraints
is reported. This real-time DR is proposed [159] to increase the RES penetration level for
LFC. In a smart grid, a comprehensive central DR algorithm was developed for LFC
[238]. For the frequency, sensitive load frequency deviations are investigated using the
DR scheme under smart grid environment [111]. In another study, followed by DR all
the distributed energy sources participated uniformly.
2.10.4 LFC with a Vehicle to Grid (V2G) Control
Many researchers have reported V2G and G2V technology for LFC. The V2G control
has three state conditions such as vehicles charging, idle and discharging conditions.
Secondary frequency control using PHEVs presented. Here, the duty cycle coordinated
scheme is described with the controllable thermal load in the household [193]. In this
scheme, a decentralized combined unit of heat-power generation considered with the

MPC strategy. The BESS is used to solve the LFC problem due to RESs integration [280].
With the integration of Megawatt (MW) class distributed PV systems, a numerical
solution is presented [187] with the study of EVs An author of [145] has proposed the
multiple model predictive control (MMPC) method applied for PHEV for charging/
discharging battery and SOC control, which helps to stabilize the frequency. EV requires
the charging controller, for that the smart charging control scheme is reported [310] for
distributed EVs for Load frequency control. For commercial purpose, a fleet of EV in
coordination with an aggregator is proposed commercially to generate revenues [189]. In
a micro-grid including EVs and DG, their coordination based on MGPC technique for
LFC is suggested [147]. The LFC with grid-connected 50,000 PEVs for V2G operation
with a smart charging algorithm in real-time is considered and economic analysis is
studied [281]. The study to manage energy between wind and PEV has been carried out
[262] because of the dynamically quick action of an EV battery. It shows the capability
to balance supply and demand. Moreover, V2G coordinated control method studied for
the smart grid having WT [265]. For the EV charger AI applications are also reported by
researchers. In this context the fuzzy logic
based charging / discharging control approach for the LFC due to the presence of PV
and DG in the smart grid [65]. Dual benefits such as energy harvesting during peak period
and greenhouse gas reduction using EVs in the benefit of the environment are discussed
[58].
2.10.5 LFC with Hybrid System
Minute- Minute Wind Variation
Wind speed creates more disturbances in LFC problem. So, it is required to maintain
frequency control against minute to minute variations in wind speed.
The dynamic performance with wind penetration to regulate frequency has been carried
out [50][109], where different wind events such as die put, wind rise, wind lulls, wind
gusts and sudden loss of wind farm are observed minute to minute. Similarly, dynamic
analysis of AGC based on the ERCOT model reported by Chavez et al [119], where a
stochastic model was analyzed to reduce frequency deviations.
CHAPTER 2
33
BESS
The BESS has great potential to regulate frequency. Different types of battery
applications are reported in LFC. The RF battery is used [283] for the quick response
characteristic, where the RF battery capacity should be ten times more than fossil fuel
operated plant. D. Kottick has presented a single area LFC with 30 MW batteries for LFC
in the Israeli isolated network [60]. Various work for LFC in two area network using GA
based controller parameter tuning [241] is reported, where the BESS helps to nullify the
frequency as well as tie-line fluctuations [252]. Observer method is also reported. Using
a disturbance observer method with the estimation of the load by generalized predictive
control method [16] better performance can achieved. BESS was considered in parallel
with the wind farm. The frequency domain analysis is micro-grid [70] by considering
WTG, DEG, two FCs, PV and the EESs consist of a BESS and a flywheel is presented.
Here, an aqua- electrolyzer absorbs some part of generated energy from PV or WTG for
the generation of hydrogen during frequency control. The LFC based on MPC [179]
technique with real-time data measurement from an existing grid is proposed. Liang
Liang has proposed the LFC of two area network with wind power and large scale BESS
[172]. This BESS battery based on droop characteristic proposed [272], which can solve
issue in LFC during its parallel operation. From the operation and economic point of
view, this battery is presented as best option after two years of test operation in berline in
1987 [108]. The BESS also helps in the presence of the GRC and DB, in this context Lu
and Lui had presented LFC solution using BESS [57].
Flywheel
The Flywheel has tremendous potential to store the energy. An optimal sizing model for
the Flywheel ESS by considering the initial cost, maintenance and operation cost is
reported in [307]. Here, the control strategy is developed to regulate the SOC of FESS.
In a restructured IPS, FESS performance to regulate grid frequency incorporation with
wind turbine generator is studied [256] and reported. Here, the GA tuned PID controller
to control generator output power is used.
Super Capacitor
The super capacitor bank for the improvement of LFC problem is used with the FG
controller is highlighted in [186].
Review of Literature
34
SMES
Similar to other energy storage devices SMES has an extraordinary potential to store
energy and quick response. This stored can be used during the AGC operation to regulate
the frequency. The LFC issue in multi-area power system a comparative study with and
without SMES impact is reported [268] with time-domain analysis [236]. In two area IPS
for better frequency regulation, the SMES operated by fuzzy logic is presented [247].
Similarly, fuzzy gain scheduling for SMES is also performed well [53][185].
This SMES control strategy by using the IGBT converter technology is presented by
Tripathi and Juengst [245], which improves the results. In multi area IPS Other
sophisticated control with solid-state phase shifter for SMES is used [135] for
improvement in the LFC. In the presence of non-linearity such as GDB in thermal-
thermal reheat unit, the SMES performed better in LFC operation. An impact of
distributed small sized SMES unit application for LFC improvement is reported by S.
Banerjee [240], where an Adaptive AGC with storage as SMES is considered and the
comparative study of adaptive and non-adaptive has been presented against load
disturbances.
LFC without Storage
Various methods of without storage during LFC operation are reported which are
summarized as follows.
In the LFC problem for IPS containing thermal, WT and solar unit using standard data of
39-bus and 24-bus test system were analyzed [51]. Here, the fluctuations because of the
load, solar and wind power were considered. In other technique, to steady the frequency
fluctuations, a two-tier structure for a multi-machine system was proposed [102]. In one
more study of [191] power and frequency oscillations, a comparative study between
conventionally operated full-power converter wind plants and the newly proposed
frequency controlling wind plants have been studied. Newly proposed frequency
controller gave an optimistic result. Effect of WT farms on the dynamic behavior of the
grid is reported by Mats Wang-Hansen [192] that WT increases the fluctuations in the
frequency and it needs the storage to regulate the frequency. AGC in multi-area IPS was
tested on the 10 machines New England system [113]. For testing, an agent-based
intelligent control scheme of Bayesian Networks (BNs) used. One more study based on
CHAPTER 2
35
wind energy integration with distributed agent-based control architecture using NERC
reliability management rules was presented [190]. From the above study it is realize that
power from RESs increases in the deviations of power and frequency, so there is a need
of storage in the smart grid. By using participation of wind farm, LFC solution is
proposed set-point controlling scheme [168], but due to the uneven property of wind
velocity frequency deviates [96]. By taking the IEEE 14 bus system, AGC for fixed and
variable speed wind machine is presented using the Newton-Raphson algorithm [174]
and in [188] the DFIG with a conventional generator for LFC is presented. The power
delivering ability of DFIG of reduces the speed and release the stored mechanical energy
during frequency regulation is presented [228][140][201]. More discussion on LFC using
participation of DFIG is also presented with its impact on LFC [62][230][241]. To reduce
the deviation due to WT, the solution using pitch angle control method [211][235] and
with HVDC [84] are reported. Solar integration is also increases, so the LFC problem
due to integration of PV power feeding into the grid is reported [122]. Fuel cell
application is also reported [20] with an impact on LFC with the presence of BESS and
SMES units. In a smart-grid to coordinate the different sources the coordinator is
required. In this context the FG for WT [115] and in an isolated power system including
solar and diesel power plant [170] for better gain is reported. In [225] authors have
proposed to do changes in UC, economic dispatch, regulation of LFC when wind
generation capacity level is important. Another approach with frequency linked price in
a two-area network including DFIG based wind turbine LFC problem is discussed
[8][311].
Other Distributed Generation
In [270] LFC problem is presented for a small hydropower plant by controlling dump
load, where the rating of the load is approximately same to the rated output of the
generator. In [161] author has point out an impact of solid oxide fuel cells in the
distributed generation. In [83] Katiraei et al. have focused on real-reactive power
management strategies in a micro-grid consists of electronically interfaced DG units. An
author of [210] has proposed the small-signal analysis in independent hybrid DG system.
For the AGC analysis unexpected load variation and uneven wind speed are considered
in addition to solar radiation. Also, the hybrid systems have different RESs such as WT,
PV, FC and DG and need storage. For the storage purpose, the EES such as battery and
flywheel units are considered. In [18] an author has addressed the conventional AGC

36
structure with its drawbacks. To eliminate the drawbacks of old AGE, the new control
scheme for AGC with cyber architecture has been proposed. It contains DES in a smart
grid. In [127] the LFC for a wind-hydro unit as an independent micro-grid is presented.
The control technique of DC power feeding system in cooperation with power maker and
distributors is presented in [221]. The LFC problem solution by GA based PI control
strategy for an independent hybrid system is presented in [292].
2.11 LFC in Deregulated Power System
In this section, the LFC problem solution by different methods in the restructured network
discussed. The LFC in a multi-area network is addressed in [196][287] and solution using
ANN-based PI controller is discussed. In deregulation AGC one ancillary service. AGC
operation in deregulated IPS with various contracts such as POOLCO based, Bilateral
and Bilateral contract with contract violation is presented [219][233][289]. Jose Luis and
Martınez Ramos have proposed an AGC in a decentralized manner, which is running at
the Spanish system and compared to the actual Spanish power system [146]. O. P. Rahi
have presented different ASs in restructured power system such as frequency regulation,
energy balance, spinning reserve, supplemental services, dynamic scheduling, reactive
power management, voltage regulation, transmission losses minimization and black start
capability [202]. The load following service in a bilateral contract in a competitive mode
is presented [33][78][143] as ASs.
Different control strategy using smart controllers are reported by various authors, which
are listed below. The AGC operation is presented in the multi-area thermal unit [133] and
there is issue due to nonlinearity as a GRC [257] in LFC operation. Here, the comparative
study between different integer order controller (IC) and fraction order PID controller
was evaluated. AI is also applied for LFC. In this context an application of GA tuned
FGPID controller [21] for LFC issue in IPS is reported. Similarly, ANN based operation
of AGC design in multi-area IPS by considering GRC and DB [256] is presented. Here,
comparative study was evaluated between ANN and GA based controller. Another
controller performance for LFC, where gain tuning is based on reduced-order observer
method is discussed [154]. Ajay of [208] has presented AGC of thermal-hydro and
thermal-thermal system with GRC in a deregulated atmosphere with the comparative
performance of PI and PID controller. Application of with and without thyristor
controlled phase shifter using PSO [106] and thyristerised controller switched-capacitor
CHAPTER 2
37
[17] is reported. In this, a design of the PI controller linear matrix inequalities (LMI)
algorithm is used. Finally is compared with an H2/H1 control technique. Daniele Menniti
has presented LFC study based on flexible AC transmission line controller [64]. Young-
Hyun Moon has presented a two-level methodology for AGC operation [313], where the
upper-level AGC deals for frequency regulation and generation distribution to IPPs with
respect to the value of ACE and the lower level AGC deals with only optimal generation
allocation.
To reduce the frequency fluctuations in deregulated power system method based on u-
synthesis is discussed [116], where the inefficiency of classical AGC based on ACE is
presented and proposed the Ramp following controller for LFC. The Ziegler Nicholas
controller is proposed for an individual system to tune Kp and Ki of the PI controller. By
considering the LFC problem [258] a bilateral market transaction a fractional order (OF)
controller is placed for all the areas. The optimal parameters of OF controller are chosen
by flower pollination algorithm. T. Anil Kumar has presented dynamic performance of
LFC solution using parallel AC-DC [276]. An adaptive controller named as feedback
error learning (FEL) is projected for AGC operation by comparing the performance of
the controller’s dynamically [158]. S. Farook of [249] has presented AGC with PID
controller parameter optimization using an evolutionary real coded genetic algorithm
(RCGA) in deregulated multi-area hydro-thermal and hydro-gas power system. The
controllers presented here have degraded performance in deregulated environment, which
can be realize from comparative study for AGC operation [217].
In deregulated power system, storage technologies are also highlighted by many authors.
Kalyan Chatterjee has presented the effect of BESS for LFC in a deregulated electricity
market scenario by considering GRC and DB [157]. LFC using different types of storage
technologies is discussed in the following section.
2.12 Electrical Energy Storage System
The frequency and power fluctuations occur because of sudden changes in the load and
RES power. So, energy storage demand increases day by day. The different storages are
categorized by following the function, response times, and time duration of suitable
storage [306]. It can give fast and active response for power is categorized in the different
types. One type is the MES such as pumped hydro storage, compressed air and flywheel.
Review of Literature
38
Similarly, FC and hydrogen are TESS. The electrochemical storages are classified as Li-
on, lead-acid and redox flow and NaS batteries. The chemical energy storage is hydrogen,
the electrical energy as a capacitor, super capacitor and SMES. Tremendous potential in
physical storage worldwide had been discussed [46]. The solution of LFC problem using
electrical energy storage technologies is addressed [152][296] and an ideal solution for a
extended lifetime with fewer expenses, more energy and power density is presented. The
LFC problem with penetration of RES is also addressed [61] with the discussion on wear
and tear of a generator during AGC operation. The solution using a hybrid electrical
vehicle is proposed in the power system [214], where an author had proposed PHEVs /
PEVs technology with higher energy efficiency, fewer carbon emissions,
environmentally friendly and easily available. An impact of V2G technique on the
demand side with utility interconnection has been discussed by many researchers.
The different controllers and controller strategies are also used for the frequency
regulation during AGC operation. In this context an EV by proposed diversified (AC/DC)
transmission link is discussed [1]. An application of fractional order PID controller is
presented for the coordination between EV and conventional plant. EV has been
addressed to regulate LFC in a micro-grid. Gains of the PID controller is tuned by PSO
based ANN technique for the stable results of frequency deviations [19]. Grey Wolf
Optimization technique for quick operation of distributed generator as an EV is proposed,
which results in a reduction in the deviations with settlement time [24]. The author of
[266] has addressed the requirement of the controller for the LFC problem when
renewable energy is integrated into the grid. The Grey Wolf Optimization method is use
with the integration of RES. Reviews on traditional controller, combined and artificial
controllers addressed [67] and there is a need for storage technology. In [195] a smart
grid with the integration of EV and RES, LFC problem is addressed. The PI controller
design based on AI techniques such as FG, FOPID followed by fuzzy-Model Predictive
Control (MPC) is presented. In [156] author has pointed out the problem of time-varying
delay during the involvement of EV agent for LFC. Delay dependent stability criteria are
proposed based on the Lyapunov theory and LMIA.
2.13 Conclusion
An effort has been put for a critical literature survey on the LFC problem. A review of
LFC under conventional as well as restructured IPS with and without grid-connected style
CHAPTER 2
39
is carried out. The repeated AGC operation of the governor will increase wear and tear.
Also, the dynamic response of the governor is slow. Moreover, the conventional and
smart controllers have degraded performance against the disturbances. So, a lot of
research potential exists in energy storage technologies. We have made an attempt to tap
this potential in chapter 5, chapter 6 and chapter 7.

CHAPTER 3
Price Based AGC Operation
3.1 Introduction
In chapter 2 different LFC techniques of AGC are presented. In India, ABT was
implemented for frequency regulation. Before the ABT implementation in 2003, there
were uncertain frequency fluctuations. So, ABT was implemented for grid operation and
control as well frequency regulation. In AGC the secondary loop is closely linked with
UI price of ABT. It makes price based AGC operation in a real-time.
India is the fast-growing economies as compared to other countries in the world. To
provide enough electricity supply is one of the top priorities of the GoI. The power
generation capacity increased since last few years, but gradually the demand is growing
more as compared to supply, which has created a shortage of 10.6 to 12.1 per cent energy
over the years. The problems such as high transmission and distribution losses, issues in
the supply of fuel and poor economic condition of utilities created due to the shortage of
power supply. To enhance the electrical network capacity of the generation, transmission
and distribution, GoI has initiated many steps. The Electricity Act 2003 was introduced
to encouraging the competition and trading activities in the Indian Power Industries.
In this chapter, the Indian grid operation is presented. The ABT mechanism, with its
advantages and scheduling-dispatch process under ABT mechanism, is presented.
3.2 Grid Operation in India
Grid power operation and control is a critically important function of the nation to deliver
power for the end consumer. During the electrical grid operation control, the security,
reliability, economy and efficiency should be taken care of. In 1991, the first
interconnection between North Eastern and Eastern grids was established in India. Then
Western Grid was interconnected in March 2003 with the above grid. In 2006, the
CHAPTER 3
41
Northern grid was connected. The southern Grid was alone pending to be interconnected
with central Grid. After the installation of the 765 kV Raichur-Solapur transmission line,
the grid was synchronized on 31st December 2013 [206] [132].
Power System Operation Corporation Ltd (POSOCO) is given the responsibility for the
Indian grid. POSOCO will facilitate for the inter-state power transmission across India
through its NLDC and five Regional Load Dispatch Centers. There are total five regional
grids in India are there: Northern Regional (NR) Grid, Southern Regional (SR) Grid,
Eastern Regional (ER) Grid, Western Regional (WR) Grid, and North- East Regional
(NER) grid. The Indian structure of transmission network is represented in Fig. 3.1.
POSOCO is also an administrator of the wholesale electricity market of India and making
the balance between demand and generation every 15 minutes in line with the regulations
of the CERC.
The Indian transmission network is organized in a hierarchical manner, which is shown
in Fig. 3.2. At the state level, the grids (state grid) consist of a transmission line below
400 VK. All state grids consist of the State Generating Stations (SGSs), small IPPs and
CPPs in states are grid-connected. The state grids are connected with the regional grid.
The regional grid mainly comprises of transmission lines of 400 kV and above. Up to the
year 2002, each region operated as a separate AC system, with interregional links. There
was an exchange of power between different regions through HVDC links. Presently,
there is a single grid in India, and all regional grids are synchronously connected.
The Function of Indian IPS Entities are presented in Fig. 3.3. At the regional level, the
RLDCs are responsible for the grid operation. Similarly, in the SLDCs are responsible
for grid operation. The CERC had given a guideline for interstate power transfer and the
SERC has to give guideline to transfer Intra-state power. In the IEGC the various utility
roles and responsibility, the guideline to schedule and dispatch, the planning code,
responsibilities and need in real-time operation are defined. CERC issues this IEGC.
Similarly, state grid codes are issued by SERCs.

3.2.1 Scheduling and Dispatch under ABT mechanism
The various states in the various regions in the country have ISGSs. These ISGSs have
their bulk consumers and beneficiaries. In the region, ISGSs will declare its next day
expected output generating capacity to Regional Load Dispatch Centers (RLDC). RLDC
will convey the information of the output capacity of generating stations to the State Load
Dispatch Centers (SLDCs). The SLDCs look after the best ways to fulfill the load demand
of their customers throughout 24 hours. To meet the load demand, SLDC collects
generation data from its own generating stations and ISGSs. SLDCs also take care of the
CHAPTER 3
43
power supply in the irrigation area. These SLDCs convey the scheduling information to
the RLDCs. Then RLDCs aggregate all the demands and declare the delivery schedules
from the ISGSs and draw the schedule for the beneficiaries.

ISGSs can revise the output capability in case of contingencies; beneficiaries can revise
their requisition. The RLDCs will be rescheduled accordingly. In Fig. 3.4 the scheduling
and dispatch process is presented under the ABT mechanism.
The generation and load are regulated by following the schedule. The deviations are
allowed within limits, so that they do not affect the system security. These deviations are
determined over every 15-minute interval. For the recording purpose, ABT meter is used.
The UI price depends on frequency. The recorded energy consumption is matched with
the scheduled energy in this 15-minute duration. The difference in scheduled energy and
recorded energy is UI energy. By averaging the frequency of each 15-minute interval
through the day, the UI rates get finalized. This scheduled energy and actual energy are
metered for each ISGSs and each geographical State for every 15-minute time block.

3.3 Reforms in Indian Power Systems
Under the Electricity Act 2003, freedom is given to increase the competition of power
trading [285]. Because of the weak economic condition of the SEBs, the GOI has started
to attract the private sector industry for energy generation by making changes in the IE
Act 2010 and EC ACT 1948. Simultaneously, steps for privatization of the generating,
transmitting and distributing companies of the SEBs were initiated. After the
implementation of the ERC act in 1998, the rules of the Central Electricity Regulatory
(CERC) were laid down.
3.4 Price based AGC Operation
The mathematical model for AGC operation including UI price and marginal cost is
represented in Figure 3.5. In real-time operation of the generator, the generating unit will
automatically respond to UI price signal(𝜌𝑖). As per the control mechanism, the UI price
signal (𝜌𝑖) is observed by each generator. Now, (𝜌𝑖) is compared with the marginal cost
of a generator(𝑃𝑔0𝑖). The difference of (𝜌𝑖) and(𝑃𝑔0𝑖), represented as Generation Control
Error (GCE).

if the GCE signal is negative, the generators can be profitable by decreasing the power
generation.
The mathematical block diagram of Fig. 3.5 is represented with the primary loop and
secondary control loops in Fig. 3.6. Here, the secondary control loop is represented by
ABT based loop. In Primary frequency control loop, which is under the FGMO,
generators respond against changes in the frequency. In the secondary frequency control
loop UI price signal is used.

following section.

3.5 Mathematical Modeling of Price Based AGC
The frequency deviates by 𝛥𝑓 Hz, during the step changes of the load MW occur in the
power system, the. The deviations in the frequency 𝛥𝑓 are added to the fundamental
frequency f0 to generate signal S1 (3.1). The signal S2 is calculated as per the UI charges
based on the frequency norms published by the respective year. Now, S2 is calculated as
per the following logic as shown in the flow chart (Fig. 3.6) to generate the GEC S5
Rs/MWh.
𝑆1 = 𝛥𝑓 + 𝑓0, (3.1)
Where 𝑓0is the fundamental frequency in Hz
If S1<=49.7 Hz ; S2=8032 Rs/MWH
elseif S1<=50 Hz ; S2=1780+20856*(50- S1) Rs/MWH
elseif S2<=50.05 Hz ; S2=35600*(50.05- S1) Rs/MWH
else S2=0 Rs/MWH.
S3 is the difference between the scheduled generation (𝑃𝑔0) MW and the changes in the
generator power (𝛥𝑃𝑔𝑖) MW as given by (3.2).
𝑆3 = 𝑃𝑔0 + 𝛥𝑃𝑔𝑖 (3.2)
Now, in the signal UI S2 is compared with the S4. (Incremental cost signal of the
generator) and the controller generates GEC signal S5. (3.3) gives the signal S4 for each
generator.
𝑆4 = 2 ∗ 𝑐𝑖 ∗ 𝑆3 + 𝑏𝑖 Rs/MWh (3.3)
Here, the positive value of GEC represents generators earn by accelerating the generation
level and the negative value of GEC represents the generators that profit by reducing the
generation level.

3.6 Conclusion
Today, it is one of the top priorities of generating companies to provide uninterrupted
power supply. From the data given in Appendix-A one can observe that, the demand is
increasing at a rate higher than that of power generation creating an energy shortage of
about 10.6 to 12.1 per cent. Due to the issues in the fuel supply, there is a shortage of
energy. Also, high transmission and distribution losses exist in the electrical network. All
these affect the financial health of utilities. To enhance the generation, transmission and
distribution capacity GoI has initiated many steps, amongst which implementation of
ABT in 2003 was one, which helps in controlling the frequency.
In this chapter grid operation in India is presented. The process of scheduling and dispatch
after implementation of ABT mechanism is discussed. The ABT mechanism creates real-
time operation of market. Here, UI rates can be derived by measuring the frequency. The
secondary loop of AGC is closely linked with the UI price component of the ABT, which
make AGC price based. By sensing the UI price signal and marginal cost, the GCE can
be controlled.
The positive GCE value indicates the earning opportunity for generators by accelerating
the generation level. The negative GCE value indicates that the generators can profit by
reducing the generation level. AGC operation is covered in chapter 4.

CHAPTER 4
Automatic Generation Control in Restructured
Power System
4.1 Introduction
This chapter highlights the AGC operation. Due to the uncertain load fluctuations the
mismatch is created between the generation and demand. This results in the deviations of
tie-line flow as well as frequency. To nullify the tie-line flow, generators running under
the AGC loop respond. During this AGC operation the generator output, frequency and
tie-line flow deviates.
The previous chapter 3 deals with the ABT loop/secondary control loop of AGC. In this
chapter the study of conventional AGC under restructured market environment is
presented. Dynamic study of GENCO power deviations, frequency deviations and UI
price deviation by load fluctuation under Poolco based contract, Bilateral contracts and
contract violation is simulated. For the simulation DISCO participation has been
considered throughout the work. Also, power, frequency and UI price are observed during
peak-hours and off-peak hours.
4.2 About Restructured Power System
Worldwide electric power utilities had adopted the deregulated market scenario and the
restructuring process is undergoing [92].GENCOs, TRANSCOs and DISCOs, as well as
ISOs, are the individual body in the restructured IPS. Presently, the DISCOs have the
authorization to do an agreement with the same area GENCOs. It is known as "Poolco
Based Transaction". If they do an agreement with the outside area, then it is called as
"Bilateral Transaction". Both the contracts are supervised by ISO. For the reliability of
power supply, many ancillary services such as reactive power management, voltage
CHAPTER 4
51
control, loss minimization, scheduling-dispatch as well as energy balancing have been
provided by system operators. In such a situation either ISO or TSO has been entrusted
with the deal of procurement of these services. It has been observed that AGC / LFC is
widely accepted as an ancillary service in practice [40]. The various issue of LFC during
the operation and control of IPS after deregulation has been discussed [224]. The
operation of price based AGC in a newly restructured power system was inspired as a
future business environment for electric utility [284] and the case study with different
load following contracts have also been represented [18]. Here, a customer can contract
alone with a different utility.
Though, it is hard for the synchronous generator to track the demand completely because
electricity characteristics have a limitation on the instantaneous procedure between
generation and utilization due to slow dynamic response [65]. Also, because of frequent
power changes by RES like solar and wind power generation in an existing grid, it
becomes difficult to regulate frequency due to insufficient regulation reserve capacity
and rapid power imbalance [10]. Thermal and hydro units can be used to regulate
frequency. Due to limited regulation capacity, slow response according to the power
demand changes and frequent operation of generator decreases the life of the governor as
well as turbine [4]. Finally increases generation cost, labour cost and repairs cost due to
wear and tear [218]. Under these circumstances, a usual frequency control by the time-
consuming action of the governor will not capable to follow the rapid load variation,
which fallout into either voltage or frequency deviation or even tripping of generator [4].
4.3 System Under Examination
An isolated two area restructured IPS is considered for AGC operation, which is shown
in Fig.1.
4.3.1 Mathematical modelling of two area restructured power system
For simplicity and better understanding of contracts, the DPM is considered [289]. Table
I represents the DPM matrix of the power system with two area exposed in Fig. 4.1. The
pairs of GENCO1 (Thermal Power plant1) - DISCO1, GENCO2 (Hydro Power Plant2) -
DISCO2 in Area1 and GENCO3 (Thermal Power plant3) - DISCO3, GENCO4 (Thermal
Power plant4) - DISCO4 in Area2 is considered. In the table, the number of rows stands
Automatic Generation Control in Restructured Power System
52
for the GENCOs (G) number and the column stands for the DISCOs (D) number. This
matrix represents the agreement of DISCOs with GENCOs. It is known as “DPM”. The
equivalent DPM is given as follows.
TABLE 4.1 DPM Matrix

] (1)
From the above matrix “Contract Participation Factor (cpf)”, brings the contract
information to track the power of GECNO and load from DISCO. The cpf can be
calculated from (2). The diagonal elements give information of agreement among the
GENCOs and DISCOs of the same area. The off-diagonal elements give information
about an agreement among the GENCOs of one area and DISCOs of outside area.
Assume the DISCO3 demands 150 MW powers, out of which 30 MW is demanded from
DISCO1, 45 MW from DISCO2, 60 MW from DISCO3 and 15 MW from DISCO4. The
variables of DPM of (1) are defined as by (2). The changes in the GENCO power can
calculate from (3). The following mathematical formulas are used for the analysis of the
two area restructured IPS [289].

𝛥𝑃𝑡𝑖𝑒1−2,𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑟 = 𝛥𝑃𝑡𝑖𝑒1−2,𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 − 𝛥𝑃𝑡𝑖𝑒1−2,𝑠𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑒𝑑 (6)
The error in the tie line by (6) helps to generate ACE in the respective area as in the
modern power system [289]. This ACE can be calculated by (7).
𝐴𝐶𝐸1 = 𝐵1𝛥𝑓1 + 𝛥𝑃𝑡𝑖𝑒1−2,𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑟 𝐴𝐶𝐸2 = 𝐵2𝛥𝑓2 + 𝑎12𝛥𝑃𝑡𝑖𝑒1−2,𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑟
(7)
𝑎12 = −𝑃𝑟1𝑃𝑟2
(8)
Where, 𝑃𝑟1 is area 1 rated capacity and 𝑃𝑟2is area2 rated capacity.
The DPM matrix helps GENCO for giving power to respective DISCO. The effect on
power system dynamics because of the sudden load fluctuation has been applied by the
input𝛥𝑃𝐿,𝐿𝑂𝐶. Now, the LFC signal generated from ACE due to unbalance between load
and supply. Dispatching of the LFC signal will through ACE participation matrix to the
GENCOs are considered i.e. 𝑎𝑝𝑓11, 𝑎𝑝𝑓12, 𝑎𝑝𝑓21 and 𝑎𝑝𝑓22 . The controller does a
significant function in the generation of an Error signal, which is distributed for GENCOs
according to apfs. The gain of the controller is tuned integral control law as given in (9).

4.3.2 AGC Operation Under Market
The AGC operation under different market conditions has been carried out. The different
contracts taken into consideration are as follows.
CHAPTER 4
55
1. POOLCO based contract
2. Bilateral contract
3. Bilateral contract with a contract violation.
The two area system with Base MVA of 2000 MVA and the rated capacity of 2000 MW
is considered [289]. The system data of the isolated network are shown in Table C.1 of
Appendix C. For the three markets the AGC operation is given below.
4.3.2.1 Case1: Poolco Based Market
In this market, the load change of 10% (200 MW) in area1 is considered. Participation of
GECNOs is presented by apfs, where apf1 = apf2 = 0.5 and apf3 = apf4 = 0.5. In this, only
DISCO1 and DISCO2 demanding the load. DISCO3 and DISOC4 do not claim the
exchange of power from any generating company. The DPM for the Poolco based market
is presented in (18).
𝑫𝑷𝑴 = [
𝟎. 𝟓 𝟎. 𝟓 𝟎 𝟎𝟎. 𝟓 𝟎. 𝟓 𝟎 𝟎𝟎 𝟎 𝟎 𝟎𝟎 𝟎 𝟎 𝟎
] (18)
4.3.2.2 Case2: Bilateral Market
In bilateral market, contract exists among GENCOs and DISCOs of the same area as well
as different area. The DPM is given in (19). Here, it is considered that each DISCO is
demanding 10% power from GENCOs. The participation of each GENCO in AGC will
be followed by𝑎𝑝𝑓𝑠, which is given as apf1= 0.75, apf2 = 0.25, apf3 =0.5 and apf4=0.5.
The DPM for the bilateral market is given by (19).
𝐷𝑃𝑀 = [
0.5 0.25 0 0.30.2 0.25 0 00 0.25 1 0.70.3 0.25 0 0
] (19)
4.3.2.3 Case3: Bilateral Market with Contract Violation
The contract may violate by DISCO due to excess power demand. This excess power is
uncontracted with any GENCO. The GENCO have to supply for the uncontracted power
of the same area. For visualization of a contract violation, excess power of 10% (200
Automatic Generation Control in Restructured Power System
56
MW) demanded by DISCO in area2 is considered. It is replicated in the area as a local
load. It is not the contract demand, so there is no change in DPM elements.
4.3.3 Comparison between the Various Markets
The following Table 4.2 represents the different calculated values of the power for the
above three cases.

4.4 Price Based AGC Operation under ABT Mechanism
The ABT mechanism implemented in July 2002 [12], which consists of 3 numbers of
mechanisms: (a) Capacity Charge (b) Energy Charge (c) Unscheduled Interchange (UI)
Charge. This scheme named availability because generating company will pay higher if
the average real accessibility of the plant is higher than real availability and payment will
lower if an average actual availability achieved is lower.
The UI curve was introduced in 2000. The changes are done in the UI rates by CERC. At
an initial level, the frequency band for UI prices was from 49.0 to 50.5 Hz. In 2016,
CERC has come up with the latest regulations (CERC, 2016 as shown in Fig. 4.3) which
adjust the frequency band between 49.7 and 50.05 Hz [48]. The rates for the deviation of
each 0.01 Hz step are equal to 35.60 Paisa/Kwh for frequency band from 50.05 to 50.00
Hz. For the frequency from 50 Hz to 49.7 Hz and below, 20.84 paisa/Kwh is considered.
The UI curve is presented in Fig. 4.3.

4.5 AGC Operation during Peak Hours and Off-Peak Hours
Price Based Operation of AGC under Peak Hours-Off Hours is simulated in
MATLAB/Simulink under the bilateral market transaction. Here, the load variation
during peak- hour and off-peak hour is considered and simulated for 24 hours under the
availability based (ABT) tariff mechanism. Unscheduled Interchange (UI) charges of
ABT have calculated against frequency deviations. The charges of peak hours are high
as compared to off-peak hours. The results of tie line error, frequency deviations, and
changes in power deviations and UI charges vs. frequency are represented. For the
analysis in MATLAB/ Simulink the data used for area1 and area2 (GUVNL, 2016)
presented in Table 4.3, Table 4.4 and Table 4.5.

The simulation for 24 hours of operation with peak hours (morning 6 to 11 and evening
6 to 11) and off-peak hours (11 am to 18 pm and 11 pm to 6 am) for bilateral transaction
is carried out. Here, all the DISCOs do the agreement with the GENCOs for power, which
is followed by the DPM as shown in (19). It is assumed that DISCOs in area1 demands
3000 MW power and DISCOs in area2 demands 2000 MW power of respective
GENCOs. The “𝑐𝑝𝑓𝑠” and 𝑎𝑝𝑓𝑠 guide the GENCO to participation in AGC operation.
The result of GENCO power deviations, area frequency deviations, UI prices deviations

in the generation of both areas is considered during 24 Hrs of operation. During the peak
hour operation of power system DISCOs in area1 which are MGVCL and DGVCL
demands 225 MW each and DISCOs of area2, which are UGCVL and PGVCL demands
for 125 MW each and during an off-peak hour operation of power system DISCOs in
area1 which are MGVCL and DGVCL demands 150 MW each and DISCOs of area2
which are UGCVL and PGVCL demands for 50 MW each. For peak hours from 6 am to
11 am and from 6 pm to 11 pm, the 15% (450 MW in area1 and 150 MW in area2) load
changes considered in both areas. Similarly, during off-peak hours, the 10% (300 MW in
area1 and 200 MW in area2) load changes considered in both areas. An area participation
factors (apfs) and DPM matrix are assumed as follows. The changes in generated power
are calculated on an average basis for both area for peak- hours and off-peak hours of
operations of the power system are given as bellow. The area participation factors are
given as follows and DPM from (19) is considered.

The above results represent the AGC operation during peak and off-peak hours. During
the AGC operation in peak hours the deviations in the frequency and UI price are more
as compared to off-peak hours. The deviations are for short time due to sudden changes
in the load, which can compensate by some quick responding device.

4.6 Conclusion
A Bilateral market as well as Poolco based market exists among the DISCOs and the
GENCOs in control areas. The “DPM” guides the AGC operation under the contracts.
Frequency linked UI price based operation of the generators running under AGC mode
is observed under the restructured power network. We can conclude that the generating
stations under AGC loop respond to the price signals manually as well as automatically.
The repeated operation of governor during the AGC increases repairs expense because of
wear and tear. Also, UI charges increases against the changes in the frequency. From the
result analysis, one can conclude that the frequent operation of the generator is not healthy
for them. The frequency can be regulated from the load side. The frequency fluctuations
are for a short time and occur frequently. So, the EES can help to give a quick response
against the frequency fluctuation. From the critical literature review, we can observe that
there is a tremendous potential in BESS as storage and to regulate frequency. BESS as a
load and source can participate in AGC for LFC, which is covered in chapter 5.

CHAPTER 5
Energy Storage for Frequency Regulation
5.1 Introduction
An energy storage device can help to regulate frequency. There is a tremendous potential
in EESS applications in power system. The different types of EESS are presented in
Appendix D. Among all the storage technologies, EVs as a distributed BESS can give
better, quick and fast service in frequency regulation [40][85]. Here, a diversified
transmission link is proposed. It distributes the LFC signal to all EVs through aggregators
for the participation in AGC. According to the ACE value an EV can charge or discharge
its battery.
5.2 The need for Electrical Energy Storage
In India, electricity requirement has increased after the announcement of the "Power for
All" target to give 24x7 hours of electricity by 2019. It also has announced plans to
increase 40% of electricity generation from RES by 2030. Due to uncertain renewable
power the grid is facing the problem of frequency fluctuations. There is a requirement of
fast responding ancillary services for frequency stability. BESS has a huge prospective
to regulate the frequency. Applications of BESS play a vital role to enhance system
frequency stability.
5.3 Grid Frequency Regulation Using Electrical Vehicle
As it is mentioned in the introduction, the grid frequency can be controlled by balancing
load against generation. To keep frequency near to 50 Hz, it is required to reserve a
definite amount of real power for frequency regulation. The service of EV to regulate the
frequency is called as vehicle to grid (V2G) and grid service to vehicle (G2V) service.
CHAPTER 5
67
There are three necessities for V2G and G2V operation [248].
1. Grid Connection for power flow.
2. Communication infrastructure is required to deal with aggregators.
3. Metering and control requirement for Vehicle to Grid and Grid to Vehicle
operation.
To put V2G as an ancillary service, the requirement of both TSO and vehicle operator
must be satisfied. The TSO wants the reliability of supply from the V2G service, and
vehicle owner gets remuneration. These two objectives are taken into consideration for
frequency regulation [72]. Worldwide, the numbers of study are presented by various
authors for centralizing or decentralized EV operation. There are two types of control
architecture are 1. Centralize Control Architecture, 2. Aggregative Architecture.
A. Centralize Control Architecture
In this control mechanism, all the information collected centrally. It can control the
vehicles individually. There is a direct communication line between the TSO and
vehicles. The vehicle owners are allowed to bid for V2G and G2V operation
independently at charging station.
B. Aggregative Architecture
The aggregator plays an important role between TSO and vehicle owners. It provides the
ancillary service for V2G and G2V operation [215]. The aggregator will receive the
information from the TSO and distribute among the contracted vehicles. The aggregator
can bid any time during the absence or presence of EV.
Out of the above two types, the aggregative architecture is more suitable due to the large
value of minimum bid for a single EV owner. In this model, the aggregators will get the
AGC signal from TSO. An aggregators will have all the details about availability of EVs.
After getting AGC signal aggregators will send the signal to all the EVs. Following the
signal sent by the aggregator, all EV will consume or give the power. Aggregators play
an intermediate role between AGC and EV. Infrastructure for the communication is
required to transmit and receive the signals.

5.4 Proposed Block Diagram for EV
Fig. 5.1 represents the mathematical model of N-area IPS. The following additions are
made to the model: thermal plant with non-reheat unit, wind turbine model and dynamic
model for the discharging of an EV battery. From the control centre, the System Operator
(SO) disperses the ACE signal to GENCOs and LFC signal to the aggregators through
Area Participation Factor (APF). The LFC signal is dispersed from the aggregators to all
the EVs. The bidirectional charger allows the EV to feed power into the grid.
FIGURE 5.1 Proposed block diagram for the grid frequency regulation.
A. EV Modelling
The conventional control techniques are not able to regulate the frequency variations
absolutely. To maintain the generation-demand, the generating unit changes the
generation according to the ACE. As per the actual Megawatts capacity of EVs in the
area, the LFC generated from ACE is dispatched to all EVs via local dispatch centre by
the TSO. By dispatching LFC signal to all EVs from TSO of that control area, it is
possible to set the rated value of frequency [250]. Also, the flow on tie-line can control
in the given rated value [181]. EV power can be calculated from (12). The way of
controlling the frequency by LFC signal is equivalent to the AGC operation performed
by the governor of thermal or hydro unit. From LFC signal, the charge as well as
discharge procedure of EV battery can be controlled as shown in Fig. 5.2. In figure 5.1
the function for time delay (𝑇𝐸𝑉) for EV fleet is represented. For that the first-order
transfer function is used. It is in series with the gain (𝐾𝐸𝑉) of EV [265]. The power output
of EV control methodology based on ACE shown in (5.1) and droop characteristics
(W/Hz) of Electrical Vehicle (EV) presented in fig. 2. It is presented as a ratio of changes

in power to the changes in frequency. Frequency range from 49.7 to 50.04 has been
considered as per CEA, India in 2016.
𝐴𝐶𝐸𝑖 = 𝛽𝛥𝑓𝑖 + 𝛥𝑃𝑖𝑗 (5.1)
Where, 𝛥𝑃𝑖𝑗 indicate from area II to an area I tie-line power flow.
The output of charging power (5.2) can be measured with the help of droop
characteristics𝐾𝐸𝑉,
𝑃𝐸𝑉1 = {𝐾𝐸𝑉1𝛥𝑓(|𝐾𝐸𝑉1𝛥𝑓|) ≤ 𝑃𝑚𝑃𝑚(𝑃𝑚 < |𝐾𝐸𝑉1𝛥𝑓|)
(5.2)
Where, 𝐾𝐸𝑉1 stands for the EV gain responsible for the power exchange for V2G
followed by the SOC deviation range. 𝑃𝑚is the maximum EV power.
Discharging power𝑃𝐸𝑉2 is calculated by (5.3). Load Frequency Control (LFC) signal is
calculated from (5.4), which is the ratio of ACE and characteristics constant.
𝑃𝐸𝑉2 = {
𝐾𝑚𝛥𝑓(0 < 𝐾𝑚𝛥𝑓 ≤ 𝑃𝑚)
𝑃𝑚(𝑃𝑚 < 𝐾𝑚𝛥𝑓)
0(𝐾𝑚𝛥𝑓 < 0) (5.3)
𝐿𝐹𝐶 = −𝐴𝐶𝐸𝑖
𝐾𝐸𝑉𝑖 (5.4)
𝐾𝐸𝑉𝑖 = The change in battery charging power divided by the change in frequency. LFC
signal is dispersed to all EVs for controlling the charging power.
Linear characteristics of frequency between 49.7 to 50.04 (CERC, 2016) Hz is considered
as presented in Fig. 5.3 [138]. The dispatched value of ACE is proportional to the degree
of a gradient. For positive ACE the LFC signal will negative, which increases the EV
battery charging power. The negative value of ACE increases in the EV battery
discharging power.
B. EV Charge-Discharge Control
For the controlling of charging and discharging power against frequency deviations
𝑃𝐸𝑉1and𝑃𝐸𝑉2 respectively LFC based PI controller can be used, which will use to adjust

The value of 𝐾𝐸𝑉 is subject to the upper and lower boundary of a SOC (SOC=Actual
capacity/ Rated capacity) value. The maximum and minimum values assumed for SOC
are 90% and 30% respectively. To track the SOC deviations of the battery, an Integral
Absolute Error (IAE) method application is used in both areas. IAE I of area1 and area2
are represented by (5.5) and (5.6) respectively.

5.5 Price Based AGC Operation In Coordination with EV
The AGC operation under different market conditions has been performed. The different
cases of the contracts are as follows.
1. POOLCO based contract
2. Bilateral contract
The operation AGC is simulated by considering isolated two areas IPS as shown in Fig.
4.1. The Base MVA of 2000 MVA and capacity of 2000 MW is considered [289]. The
system parameters of are given in Appendix-C. The AGC function is observed under the
following three markets. For the analysis data as shown in Appendix-B are used.
5.5.1 POOLCO based contract
In this contract, the changes in a load of area 1 only are considered. Participation of
GECNOs is presented by apf, where apf1 = apf2 = 0.5 and apf3 = apf4 = 0.5. In this case of the
poolco based transaction only DISCO1 and DISCO2 are demanding the load. DISCO3
and DISOC4 do not claim the exchange of power from any generating company. The
DPM presented as,
𝑫𝑷𝑴 = [
𝟎. 𝟓 𝟎. 𝟓 𝟎 𝟎𝟎. 𝟓 𝟎. 𝟓 𝟎 𝟎𝟎 𝟎 𝟎 𝟎𝟎 𝟎 𝟎 𝟎
] (5.9)
Sudden load fluctuation of 200 MW in area1 has been only considered for the
visualization of AGC operation and dynamics. Dynamic behaviour with unexpected load
changes with and without EVs is represented in Fig. 5.3 (a) to (f). The Fig. 5.3 (a) to (b)
represents the GENCO power. The Fig. 5.3 (c) represents the frequency fluctuation and
Fig. 5.3 (d) shows the fluctuation in the tile line flow. The area1 UI price (Rs/Mwh) and
Area2 UI price (Rs/Mwh) deviations are presented in Fig. 5.3 (e) to (f). As only area1
have nonzero load demand, so momentary rise and fall of frequency in area1 are larger
than in area2. Due to no contract exists between GENCOs of and DISCOs of the different
area; the tie-line power is zero. Calculated values of the GENCO power are presented in
Table 5.1.

5.5.2 Bilateral Transaction
In this, a contract exists among the GENCOs and the DISCOs of the same and different
areas. The DPM is given in (19). It is assumed that each DISCO is demanding 10% (100
MW) power. To supply the power the GENCO participation is given by 𝑎𝑝𝑓𝑠 where,
𝑎𝑝𝑓1 = 0.75, 𝑎𝑝𝑓2 = 1 − 𝑎𝑝𝑓1 = 0.25, ,𝑎𝑝𝑓3 = 0.5, 𝑎𝑝𝑓4 = 1 − 𝑎𝑝𝑓3 = 0.5

From the above results it is noted that, the peak overshoots and deviations in the power,

5.5.3 Bilateral Transaction with Contract Violation
The contract may violate by DISCO due to excess power demand. This excess power is
uncontracted with any GENCO. The GENCO have to supply for the uncontracted power
of the same area. For visualization of a contract violation, case 2 is considered with excess
power of 100 MW demanded by DISCO in area2. It is replicated in the area as a local
load, not as the contract demand, so there is no change in DPM elements. An overall load
deviation in the area is (𝛥𝑃𝐿1,𝐿𝑂𝐶) = (DISCO1+ DISCO2) Total Load = (100+100)+100
= 300 MW. Likewise, in area II the total local load = (DISCO3 + DISCO4)load = 200
MW.

5.6 Conclusion
From the previous section it can be observed that the proposed fleet of aggregated EVs
can control load frequency by participating in AGC. From the results, it has been realized
that the time to settle the normal frequency value, its oscillations peak overshoots are
reduced when EVs are grid-connected. Also, deviations in UI charges, its peak overshoots
and settling time are reduced during the charging/discharging operating mode of EVs.
So, distributed EVs perform a key function in the network which is to reduce the burden
on governor during AGC operation of synchronous generators.

CHAPTER 6
AGC Operation with Renewable Energy Sources
6.1 Introduction
Now a day’s electric grid is fast getting transformed into a smart grid and AGC operation
has become complex. With an integration of RESs the deviations in the frequency are
increasing. The percentage of RESs is steadily increasing day by day. As on 31st March
2018, India has 22 GW solar and 34 GW wind installed capacity. After the generation of
power from a renewable source, feeding that power into the grid is a sensitive point. Even
though India is encouraging the initiatives for green energy integration into the grid, it is
still a big challenge to develop infrastructure for the same. Installation of the renewable
projects takes 12-18 months, while transmission line takes up to five years. All of these
create a big challenge. For example, in India because of the variation in wind power, 50%
of the wind power generation is backed down by the Tamil Nadu State Load Dispatch
Centre (CERC, 2016). It causes financial loses for wind generators.
In Chapter 4, AGC operation without the grid connected RESs is discussed. Day by day
an integration of RESs increases [224]. The generated power from RESs is intermittent
in nature. Also, distance is a major constraint for the transmission of renewable power.
Moreover, India lacks a storage facility. Due to nature of RES, the deviations in the
frequency and UI price increases. Also, the AGC operation becomes complex [305].
In this chapter deviation in the frequency, GENCO power, Tie line flow and UI rates are
presented when RES power is fed into the grid. The above electrical parameters are highly
fluctuating due to both load variation and renewable power. A solution using storage as
a grid-connected fleet of electrical vehicles/ hybrid electrical vehicles is presented. It
helps to lessen the peak overshoots and time period of the oscillations in the load
frequency, power and UI rates.

6.2 Solar Energy System with Price Based AGC Operation
6.2.1 Block Diagram of Two area Restructure Power System with Solar System
In this section two areas restructure power system with thermal-hydro and the thermal-
thermal unit has been considered for the AGC operation, shown in Fig. 6.2. Area1 has
GENCO1 (Thermal Unit) and GENCO2 (Hydro unit) with two distribution companies
MGVCL as DISCO1 and DGVCL as DISOC2. Similarly, Area2 has GENCO3 (Thermal
Unit) and GENCO4 (Thermal Unit) with two distribution companies UGVCL as
DISCO3 and PGVCL as DISCO4.The contract of DISCO and GENCO is monitored by
ISO followed by DPM [289].
The following solar model is assumed to understand an impact of the solar plant. (6.1)
represents the power output [65] of the PV system.
𝑃𝑃𝑉 = 𝜂𝑆𝜑{1 − 0.005(𝑇𝑎 + 25} (6.1)
The conversion efficiency is ranging from 8 to 15 %. The 𝜂and𝑆 has a constant value.
The output power of PV depends only on 𝑇𝑎 and 𝜑.
The PV model dynamic equation is presented in (6.2).
𝐾𝑃𝑉 =𝐺𝑃𝑉
1 + 𝑠𝑇𝑃𝑉=𝛥𝑃𝑃𝑉𝛥𝜑
(6.2)
Where KPV = Ratio of change in power (ΔPPV) to the change in radiation.
The AGC operation under different market conditions has been performed. The different
cases of the contracts are as follows.
The transfer function for the PV model is represented as given below in Fig. 6.1 [265].

6.2.2 AGC Operation under Different Market Condition
The operation AGC is simulated by considering isolated two area power system. The
Base MVA of 3400 MVA (Thermal-Hydro Unit) in Area1 and 2600 MVA (Thermal-
Thermal Unit) in Area2 with a rated capacity of 3000 MW and 2600 MW is considered.
The system parameters are shown in the Table 4.3, Table 4.4 and Table 4.5. The AGC
operation is observed under the following three markets.
1. POOLCO based Market
2. Bilateral Transaction
For the analysis in MATLAB/ Simulink, data for two area IPS used from Gujarat Urja
Vikas Nigam Limited ((GUVNL), 2016 are presented in Table 4.2 for Area1 and Table
4.3 for Area2.
6.2.2.1 Poolco Based Market
Load variation of 20% (300 MW) in area1 considered. Fig. 6.3 (a) to (i) represents the
results of fluctuations in power, frequency, tie line flow and UI price because of the
fluctuating temperament of solar power. In this, the power deviation of 300 MW of area1
is represented by 150 MW by GENCO1 and 150 MW by GENCO2. In this transaction,
GENCO3 and GENCO4 of area2 will not participate. For the reduction in the deviations,
the grid-connected fleet of EV is considered. EV helps to reduce the deviations, which
are presented in Fig. 6.4 (a) to (i). Fig. 6.4 (a) to (d) represents the of GENCO power
deviations, Fig. 6.4 (e) to (f) represents the results of frequency deviations, Fig. 6.4 (g)

6.3.1 Description of Two Area Restructured Power System
The network assumed for the analysis is presented in Fig.6.1. The power purchase
contract agreement of GENCOs and DISCOs is represented by DPM. The contract is
monitored by ISO. For the visualization of bilateral contract, the IPS of Gujarat has been
assumed and synthetically divided into Area1 and Area2 as shown in Fig. 6.7.
In Area1 and Area2 contains two numbers of GENCOs in their own area. Similarly, two
numbers of DISCOs are there in both areas. The power system is considered under
deregulated environment. The DPM represents the contract between GENCO and
DISCO. The wind turbine is considered to be connected in both area. Fig. 6.8 shows the
wind turbine model [286] with a hydraulic pitch actuator, and data fit pitch response. A
first-order system describes the dynamics of the wind power generating unit.

6.4 Conclusion
In the restructured power network, a number of generators running with AGC loop to
balance generation-load in all conditions. In the bilateral as well as poolco based market,
generators balance the frequency by complex AGC loop. Presently, in the smart-grid, the
power feeding by RESs such as wind turbine is uneven. It makes unbalance between
supply and demand. So, uneven load as well as RESs power creates more fluctuations
into the frequency and power. To short-out the problem of fluctuations in the frequency
and power, the quick responding storage is required. The RES can participate in day
ahead electricity market by adopting stationary energy source such as battery. In poolco
based market and bilateral market, the frequency settling time as well as numbers of
AGC Operation with Renewable Energy Sources
104
oscillation are less in case of grid connected EV as compared to without EV. So, the fast-
responding storage as EV battery is a best option.
The frequency, generator power, tie-line flow and UI charges deviations because of
sudden local load deviation, PV power fluctuations, as well as WT power fluctuation, are
presented in the simulation under POOLCO based and bilateral contract market. From
the study, it is realized that EVs can settle the deviations in the frequency, power as well
as UI price. The grid-connected fleet of electrical vehicles, presented in the simulation
helps to decrease the peak magnitude of the overshoots and time duration of frequency
oscillations, power deviations and UI rates.

CHAPTER 7
Price Based Automatic Generation Control Using
Fuzzy-Based Grid Connected EVs
7.1 Introduction
The grid connected fleet of EV is a better option as a fast responding device against
frequency deviations. Normally, to charge and discharge the EV battery, PI controllers
are used to tracking the load continuously. But due to nonlinearity and uncertainty of
load, performance of PI controller becomes poor. So, fuzzy-based PI controller can be
used. It can track better as compared to PI controller to reduce the frequency deviations
and settling time too.
The fuzzy logic theory depends on the experience from which people can take decisions.
The details of the fuzzy logic are given Appendix E. An application of FG controller to
adjust the PI controller gain is presented in this chapter. The restructured power system
in isolated mode with the thermal- hydro and thermal-thermal non-reheat system is
considered for AGC operation. The DPM has been used for making the contract between
DISCOs and GENCOs under the restructured environment. Dynamic study of frequency
deviations in the power system by load fluctuation under Poolco based market as well as
Bilateral markets with its violation conditions has been carried out and simulated. Finally,
the fleet of a electrical vehicle (EVs) as large battery energy storage has been proposed
due to its fast response against load variation like a generator-turbine unit of the thermal
power plant.
7.2 Description of the Model
Two area Automatic generation control (AGC) strategy using an electric vehicle as grid-
connected distributed energy storage has been proposed under the deregulated power
system along with a solar as grid-connected renewable energy source (Fig.6.1). The DPM
Price Based Automatic Generation Control Using Fuzzy-Based Grid Connected EVs
106
is used for AGC operation under Poolco based and bilateral contract. The uncertain nature
of RES and load increases the fluctuations in the frequency. An EV model is proposed.
The operation for bidirectional charging controller followed by the frequency
characteristic has been simulated using the PI controller and FGPI controller.
7.3 EV Battery Charging Controller
PI controllers can track the changes to get the optimal performances. But, a PI controller
cannot provide the expected results against change in the operating conditions. Intrinsic
complication or nonlinearity or improbability of load, which is unexpectedly in the power
system, causes frequency deviations. The PI controllers cannot provide the preferred
presentation, so due to the flexible and simple operation of Fuzzy logic; the gains of PI
controllers have been tuned. The logic of FGPI controller is presented in Fig. 7.1.

The FG rules and MF of fuzzy control are shown in Table 7.1. The “Triangular” MF is
used. There are two inputs and two outputs. The ACE and 𝛥ACE as inputs and PI
controller gain KP and KI as outputs. To map the inputs as ACE and 𝛥ACE, a total of 25
numbers of fuzzy rules are defined as shown in Table 7.1.
Rule: If the first input, ACE is NB and 𝛥ACE is NB then output is S.
Table 7.1 presents the Rules of fuzzy logic to tune KP and KI.
The conventional controller is used for secondary frequency control. Based on pre-
specified values, the PI controller is normally used in practice. This controller can follow
the load constantly and give optimal performance. The PI cannot provide the expected
results against change in the operating conditions [59]. So, for tuning of PI controller
gain such as 𝐾𝑝 and𝐾𝐼, an intelligent fuzzy logic is suitable [3][5] as shown in Fig 7.1.

7.4 Intelligent Price Based AGC Operation under The Different

The operation AGC is simulated under three different contract as a case study by
considering isolated two area power system of Base MVA of 2000 MVA and capacity
of 2000 MW. The parameters of the isolated network are presented in Appendix-B.
Case 1: POOLCO based Market
Case 2: Bilateral Market
Case 3: Bilateral Market with a contract violation
7.4.1 Poolco Based Market
In this market, the load change in area 1 only considered. Participation of GECNOs is
presented by apf as follows. Here, the apf1=0.5, apf2=0.5, apf3=0.5 and apf4=0.5 are
considered. Here, only DISCO1 and DISCO2 demanding the load. DISCO3 and DISOC4
do not claim the exchange of power from any generating company. The DPM presented
in (7.1) used for the simulation.

Sudden load variation of 200 MW in area1 has only been considered for the visualization
of AGC operation and dynamics. Dynamic behaviour in case of unexpected load changes
by a comparative analysis of the PI controller and Fuzzy PI Controller (FPC) of EV
bidirectional charger represented in Fig. 7.4 (a) to (i). The peak overshoots and deviations
in the power, tie line, frequency and UI price has been reduced by FPC of grid-connected
EV. In Fig. 7.2 (a) to (d) deviations in the power of GENCOs are shown. In Fig. 7.2 (e)
and (f), since area1 have nonzero load demand, the momentary rise and fall of area1

frequency is larger than in area2. The deviations in the UI price (Rs/Mwh) are presented
in Fig. 7.2 (g) and (h). The tie-line power is zero due to no contract exists among the
GENCOs and the DISCOs of the different area. It is presented in Fig.7.2 (i). The
calculated values of generator power have been shown in Table 7.2.

The contract may get violated by a DISCO due to excess power demand. This excess
power is uncontracted with any GENCO. The GENCO has to supply the uncontracted
power of the same area. For visualization of a contract violation, an excess power of 10%
of demand by DISCO in area2 is considered. It is replicated in the area as a local load. It
is not the contract demand. So, there is no change in DPM elements. For the bilateral
transaction, the DPM is presented in (7.2). Here, the apf1=0.5, apf2=0.5, apf3=0.5 and
apf4=0.5 are considered.

7.4.3 Bilateral Transaction with a Contract Violation
The contract may violate by DISCO due to excess power demand. This excess power is
uncontracted with any GENCO. The GENCO have to supply for the uncontracted power
of the same area. For visualization of a contract violation, Case 2 is considered with
excess power of 100 MW demanded by DISCO in Area2. It is indicated as a local load.
It is not the contract demand. So, there is no change in DPM elements. An overall load
deviation in the area I,(𝛥𝑃𝐿1,𝐿𝑂𝐶) = Load of DISCO1+ load of DISCO2= (100+100)+100
= 300 MW. Likewise, the total local load in area II = (DISCO3 + DISCO4) = 200 MW.
For EV bidirectional charger PI and FGPI controllers are considered for comparative
analysis. The comparative analysis by applying unexpected load is presented in Fig. 7.4(a)
to (i). Fig. 7.4 (a) to (d) presents the deviations in the GENCOs power. In Fig. 7.4 (e) and
(f), only area1 have nonzero load demand, so momentary rise and fall in area1 frequency
are larger than in area2. The deviations in the UI price (Rs/Mwh) are presented in Fig.
7.4 (g) and (h). There is no contract among the GENCOs and the DISCOs of the different
areas. So, the tie-line power is zero. The actual tie-line power is presented in Fig.7.4 (i).
Calculated values of generator power have been shown in Table 7.4.

7.5 Conclusion
The bidirectional contract exists in restructured power system among the DISCOs and
GENCOs of different control areas. In the present IPS, the nature of RES is intermittent
in nature. It produces power fluctuations that add to the deviations caused by the load.
The deviations in the load result in frequency becoming unstable. From the study of
different kinds of literature, the power system needs storage for the stability of frequency.
The design of bidirectional charging control for EV to stabilize the frequency fluctuation
is proposed. Also, grid-connected RES is considered. By sending the LFC signal to all
EVs, the operator is able to manage the charging operation by taking care of the battery

SOC level. EV can normalize the deviations in the frequency, generator power, tie-line
flow and UI price. An EV has tremendous advantage that it can work as a load and source.
For the operation of bidirectional charger, PI controllers are used. The PI controllers can
track the system changes. But against various working conditions of the grid, PI
controllers are not able to give optimal performance. Further efforts have been put to tune
PI parameters using fuzzy logic and comparative results have been obtained with PI and
with the fuzzy PI controller. From the results it is concluded that FGPI controller provided
better performance as compared to the PI controller.

CHAPTER 8
Summary, Conclusion and Future Scope
This chapter summarizes the work reported in this report, the major contribution and
some important conclusions. The scope for future work is also presented at the end of the
chapter.
8.1 The Original Contribution of the Thesis
The main contribution of the thesis is as follows,
1. Developed a mathematical model of two area restructured IPS by considering
thermal-thermal (non-reheat) and grid-connected wind turbine unit. It is simulated
under the different contracts between generating companies and distribution
companies, such as POOLCO based contract and Bilateral contract. The effect of 10
% load variation has also been studied.
2. Developed frequency to UI price block which will convert the frequency deviation
into the price. From the UI price calculated and from the marginal cost of generation,
GCE is calculated. Based on GCE, price based AGC) is performed.
3. Developed a mathematical model of grid-connected Electrical Vehicles (EVs) with
bidirectional charger. The bidirectional charger is applied to reduce the deviations in
frequency, amount of generator power and UI price. Moreover, the concept of LFC
signal is proposed to disperse all EVs by diversified transmission link through
aggregators followed by Area Requirement (AR).
4. The proposed method of aggregated EVs to regulate frequency and power deviation
is tested under Poolco based contract and Bilateral contract for peak hours and off-
peak hours. This work has shown that using this technique frequency and power
deviations are minimized.
CHAPTER 8
123
8.2 Conclusion
Based on the research work carried out it is observed that, sudden load variations and
variation in renewable power generation produce power imbalances in demand and
supply. This results in frequency deviations. This research work has resulted in a
unique solution that has minimized the deviation in the frequency as well as UI price
by load variation and renewable power generation. The dynamic storage (EV)
mechanism suggested in this research has given better solution to normalize the
frequency fluctuations in restructured IPS with the help of bidirectional charge
controller. For this analysis, a fleet of EVs has been considered under POOLCO based
contract and Bilateral contract during peak hours and off peak hours.
In the power system without RESs (Chapter 5), the improvement in the frequency
and UI price deviations due to a fleet of EVs are presented in Fig. 8.1.

Thus it has been found that the technique developed here lowers down the frequency
and power deviations as well as fluctuations in UI price.
8.3 Future Scope
In this thesis different method at generation, transmission and distribution area are
represented. These methods regulate the frequency to operate near 50 Hz and try to
minimize deviations and generation cost due to sudden load variation as well as power
of RESs. Some of the scopes for further investigations are as follows.
1. The research work has considered of the EV bidirectional charger development
for V2G and G2V operation in India. By developing the Battery Management
System (BMS), the bidirectional power transfer is possible after following the
battery SOC condition. The BMS also help to coordinate the number of EVs.
2. Because of high tariff rates in peak hours and low tariff rates during off-peak
hours, one can perform the financial analysis on charging and discharging of EV
with infrastructure development.

Challenges in the Indian Power Sector
Fig. A.1 shows the total generation capacity within India from the central, state and private
sectors. The power generating ability of the private sector is more as compared to the state
and central sector. The sharing of power between state and central sector are near to each
other.
FIGURE A.1 Total Generation within India (as on 31st August 2019)
Fig. A.2 presents the sharing of power generation from different fossil fuels. Major power
generation from coal consumption is more as compared to other sources which are around
54.3%. Because of limited water reservoir and storage, the hydro generation is limited.
Nowadays the government is encouraged to enhance the use of RES due to limited stock of
fossil fuels and environmental issues such as global warming and climate changes. The

Advantages of Energy Storage and it’s
Classification
In India, energy storage capacity increased to 23 GWh in 2018. Also, the battery energy
storage demand increased up to 56%. As per the survey carried out in India, the potential
found near to 290 GWh capacity of energy storage at grid-side applications. Electrical
vehicles had consumed batteries of 5 GWh in 2018. By 2025 it may increase up to 36 GWh.
Electrical Vehicle industries have forecasted the demand of the batteries by 110 GWh by
2019-2015.
A. Advantages of Electrical Vehicles (EVs) as Storage
Plug-in Hybrid Electrical Vehicle or Electrical Vehicle is adopted worldwide due to issues
such as environmental and climate changes, fossil fuel reserves, energy security and energy
cost [137][176]. The biggest consumer of oil products is the transportation sector. Green
House Gas (GHG) emission increases due to its consumption. An Electrical Vehicle (EV) or
Hybrid Electrical Vehicle can work as either as loads or as a large distributed power source.
In this way, it can reduce the overall cost and emission of GHG.
Environmental Advantages
The V2G concept is studied in 12 regions of the U.S [178]. It analyses the 27 % reduction in
GHG and 31 % in nitrogen oxide emission reduction. In California using PEV, current
emissions reduced by one third and in future it will reduce by one quarter energy scenario as
compared to Internal Combustion (IC) engine based vehicles [136].
List of Appendices
167
EV Service as an Ancillary Service
In restructured power system ASs are launched for the reliable and safe operation of the
network, to balance generation and load. Bidirectional service of V2G and G2V operation
can provide the ASs such as frequency stability, voltage stability, load balancing and peak
power-saving [39]. With the help of aggregators, it is possible to communicate between the
grid and vehicles.
Voltage and Frequency Regulation
For reactive power, voltage is to be regulated between supply and demand. A voltage
controller can be inbuilt in the battery charger. An inductive and capacitive reactive power
can manage by setting the phase angle [44]. An EV charging can stop during low voltage
condition of the grid and charging can start during high voltage condition of the grid [153].
For frequency regulation among the grid, three loops of AGC are defined such as primary,
secondary and tertiary frequency control [183]. For the primary control loop, grid frequency
is regulated by charging the battery during the high-frequency period and discharging the
battery during the low-frequency period [139]. For secondary and tertiary frequency control
action using EV is possible by distributing the Area Control Error (ACE) signal via
aggregators. EV owner will be in benefit when the vehicle can charge at lower tariff rates
and discharge at higher tariff rates. During the high-frequency period vehicle need to charge,
so the lower tariff rate should activate and for the lower frequency period vehicle need to
discharge, so the higher tariff rate should be activated.
Load Leveling and Peak Power
An EV can balance the energy during the V2G operation by discharging EVs batteries in
peak hours and during the G2V operation, EVs can charge their batteries in off-peak hours.
In [148] smart charging control strategy is described at the local level and globally. The peak
load can be reduced by coordinating the EV battery charger with grid for
charging/discharging activity. It needs development of the bidirectional charge/discharge
controller.
List of Appendices
168
Renewable Energy Supporting and Balancing
The nature of RESs such as solar and wind is intermittent [153]. Among all these RESs wind
power is highly complex. The PHEVs helps to power generated by RESs. The wind speed is
unpredictable, which makes it highly intermittent [13]. If the injection of power is by RESs
is high, the thermal plants or other plants must decrease the power generation. In this
situation, the vehicle battery by charging or discharging can help to match the demand and
supply. So there is no need to change the generated output power of thermal or any other
power plants. The stored energy in the battery can use for driving the vehicle.
Technical issues arise when RES and EVs are connected with grid:
The existing distribution grid is not designed for bidirectional flow. Requirement of Electric
grid infrastructure, communication and control for reliable two-way communication between
aggregators and large EVs, Battery high initial cost, battery degradation, Overloading of
transformer, underground cables and feeders which produce Voltage drop problem,
Harmonics issue.
B. Classification of Energy Storage
The various types of EES are suggested by peoples worldwide are respired in Fig. D.1. The
storage technologies are classified into their functions, time of response and duration of
storage [52] [76] [34].

A. MES
It stores the kinetic energy such as Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS), Compressed Air Energy
Storage (CAES) or Flywheels. The followings are the types of MES.
1. In PHS water is pumped from the bottom to higher location reservoir. The water is
collected during off-peak hours (low demand period) due to the lower rate of
electricity tariff. During the peak-hours (high demand period), the collected water
will release from the high location reservoir to run the hydro turbine to generate
electricity. Worldwide, approximately 127 GW hydro storage plants are there in
operation, which has average efficiency is between 70-80 % [79]. But, in India, due
to the land issue, big storage is difficult to install.
2. In CAES, an air compressor is used to generate pressurized air. During off-peak hours
or low demand period, the generated air is stored in an airtight underground tank with
a pressure ranging between 4 to 8 MPa [110]. The pressurized air used to rotate the
high-pressure turbine by heating or expansion mode during the peak hours or high
demand period. The CAES gives quick response in the generation and compression
mode against significant load variation. The disadvantage of CUS is that if air stored
for a long period, it is converted into water. Also, compressed air is very costly. So,
in the Indian power system, operation of CAES will be costly.
3. The flywheel is an electrochemical system in which rotating cylinder coupled with
magnetic bearings. The mechanical energy of the rotating cylinder converted in
electrical energy through the electrical machine [68].
B. EES
EES classified into electrostatic and magnetic energy storage. The conventional capacitors
and super capacitors stored electrostatic energy and SMES device stored magnetic energy.
The followings are the types of EES.
1. The capacitor stored energy between two electrodes separated by a dielectric
medium. Capacitors can be charged quickly and also, charge or discharge for
List of Appendices
170
several cycles more than the battery [110]. It can be used in short term storage
application due to fast response against sudden load variation. It has the limitation
of capacity and energy density.
2. The super capacitor has a good energy density compared to other devices due to
electrodes made from porous carbon material. These devices can respond quickly
against load changes in a fraction of seconds. The disadvantage is that it can store
energy for a short time and stored energy lost due to self-discharging property
[290].
3. There are two types of super magnetic coils due to operating temperature used in
SMES such as High and Low-temperature coils.
C. TES
Energy is stored using thermal insulation. It is the form of heat either at high or low
temperature.
1. Low-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage (LTTES):
It is sub-classified into two types, such as Aquifers ALTES and Cryogenic TES. In
ALTES, in off-peak chilled water is stored using thermal storage, which is cooled
down by coolant. The chilled water is used during peak hours, which is used to cool
down the air. The hot water returned by the heat exchanger. This type of application
often found in commercial buildings for space cooling, which helps to reduce the
energy cost of an air conditioner [110]. In the United States, Ice Bear Energy is a
famous option to save electricity cost during peak hours [130].
2. High-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage (HTTES):
HTTES is also classified into two types, such as the sensible and latent heat storage
systems. If the temperature of specific material rises or drops, it will absorbs or
releases the heat. Some materials like concrete and ceramics are the solid type of
storage, while molten salt is a liquid type of storage [95].

D. Electro-Chemical Energy Storage
The following are the different techniques of Electro-Chemical Energy Storage.
1. Lead Acid Battery (PbA): This rechargeable battery is much matured, and cost per
unit is cheap [167]. The basic components of the PbA battery are Anode and Cathode
made from Lead Oxide. The aqueous sulfuric acid is used as an electrolyte. It has low
specific energy nearby 25 Wh/kg [110]. Because of the short life cycle and lower
energy density, its application is less suitable in some application. The lead-acid flow
battery with soluble lead, which dissolves in an aqueous methane-sulfuric acid
electrolyte, has the potential to solve [213].
2. Sodium-based high-temperature battery: It is classified as sodium sulphur (NaS),
sodium nickel chloride (NaNiCl2) and ZEBRA batteries. In NaS battery, liquid
sodium (Na) and sulfur (S) material are used for anode and cathode, respectively. It
can work in the temperature range between 300 to 350 0C [7]. Opposite to NaS
battery, ZEBRA battery is used solid metal chloride as a cathode, while anode and
electrolyte are same. ZEBRA battery has less corrosion on the cathode surface as
compared to NaS battery, and also, explosion issue due to metallic sodium can avoid.
Only, the disadvantage is that the power and energy density is low. Li-ion battery is
more popular due to the high range of specific energy from 75 to 125 Wh/kg [7]. But
in the case of overcharge, there is s rise in the temperature, which causes leakage of
chemical from the battery and sometimes explosion. Technically, batteries are very
well developed, but still there is a research scope in the reduction of cost. Other
batteries line Radox Flow Batteries (RFB), where the power and energy components
can independently determine due to its external storage. There are two types of RFB
available such as Vanadium Redox Battery (VRB) as well as Zinc-Bromine Battery
(ZnBr). There are low power and energy density in the RFB, which is a research area.
3. Hydrogen-based Energy Storage: The electricity is converted into hydrogen
through electrolyzers and hydrogen is stored in a metal tank. Electrolyzer technology
is further classified as Alkaline, PEM and SOEC [93]. The stored energy is converted
into electricity by RFC. The various types of fuel cells are there such as PEMFC,

AFC, MCFC, PAFC, DMFC and SOFC. Its life is the long and cheap cost of
manufacturing [244]. The hydrogen is only the by-product [45].

Fuzzy Logic
The “Fuzzy Logic” was commenced by Lotfi Zadeh in 1965. He had introduced the theory
of fuzzy set. The fuzzy logic theory depends on the experience from which people can take
decisions. The vagueness and inaccurate information are represented by a mathematical
model known as a fuzzy set. In FG, the truth value exists between absolutely true and
absolutely false. The truth values of variables lie in 0 and 1, while in Boolean logic, the truth
value of variables will be number values either 0 or 1.
The mapping process is there between input and output in FG. The primary concept of using
fuzzy logic is making the if-then sentences called the rules. The rules are parallel and its
order is insignificant. The rules define the variables and adjectives. The rules made are set in
a natural way.
If the light is red if my speed is
high
and if the light is close then I brake hard.
If the light is red if my speed is low and if the light is far then I maintain my
speed.
If the light is
orange
if my speed is
average
and if the light is far then I brake gently.
If the light is green if my speed is low and if the light is close then I accelerate.
Also, these models can identify, present, manipulate, interpret vague data and information
and utilize it. From this example, it can be realized that the input variables are appreciated
by the brain. The FG is all about the virtual significance of accuracy.
Some findings from the fuzzy logic are given below.
• It is simple to understand its mathematical models.
• Easy to design any system because of flexibility.
• Most things are imprecise. The data which are not clear are tolerable by fuzzy logic.
• Non-linear complex functions can model by fuzzy logic.

• It can model from the experience of the people.
• The use of fuzzy logic is easy because it is made by the qualitative explanation used
in every day.
Fuzzy logic starts from a fuzzy set. It defined the boundaries and known as a set without a
crisp. It consists of elements having a degree of membership. It is a classical set theory based
on FG set theory [315]. The different shapes of the membership function are such as sigmoid,
hyperbolic, tangent, exponential, Gaussian are used.
Fuzzy Logic System (FLS) is a system that is used to map the non-linear input data to scalar
output data. The Fuzzy Logic System represented in Fig E.1. It consists of the main four
components as follows.

Execution of the FG is as follows.
1. Fuzzification: The input as a crisp set is gathered and converted into a fuzzy set. Here,
the membership values of fuzzy variables are generated using linguistic variables,
membership functions and fuzzy linguistic.
2. Inference: A set of rule plays an important role in the fuzzy inference system.

3. Defuzzification: Here, the fuzzy output of a fuzzy inference system converts into the
original form of crisp out using the membership functions.
A. Fuzzification
It is the method of assigning the arithmetical input of a system to fuzzy sets with some degree
of membership within the interval [0, 1].
If it is 0 then the value does not belong to the given fuzzy set and if it is 1 then the value
completely belongs within the fuzzy set. Any value from 0 to 1 indicates the degree of
improbability.
B. Fuzzy Inference System
It is a procedure to map the known input by FG into output. From the mapping process, one
can take the decision or provide examples. Inference systems of FG are successfully applied
in different areas such as power system, automatic control system, computer engineering, for
data categorization, result investigation, and expert systems. It is also known as fuzzy rule-
based controllers.
The procedure of fuzzy inference contains the Membership Functions (MF), Rules and
Logical Operators.
C. Membership function
It is one type of curve which defines the membership value from 0 to 1 by mapping the input
at each point. This input space is known by “Universe of Discourse”. There is only one clause
is that the MF must be laying in 0 to 1. The various types of MFs are presented in Fig E.2.

5. Piecewise linear.
FIGURE E.2 Types of Membership Functions
D. Linguistic variables
In mathematics, numerical values are considered, where as in fuzzy logic, non-numerical
values are considered. These values are presented by linguistic variables such as young, old
etc. The variables are in the form of rules and facts. Using linguistic variables during
fuzzification operations mapping of arithmetic input into fuzzy MFs is possible. During the
de-fuzzifying operations, it maps the fuzzy output into a "crisp" value. It is helpful in taking
the decision.

E. Fuzzy logic operators
Fuzzy logic operators work like Boolean logic operator. The FG reasoning is a superset of
Boolean logic. The replacement for basic operators AND, OR and NOT are shown below.
The FG operators are called the Zadeh operators.
Boolean
Operators
Fuzzy operators
AND(x,y) MIN(x,y)
OR(x,y) MAX(x,y)
NOT(x) 1 – x
Fuzzy operators give the same result like Boolean expression such as for TRUE it is 1, and
for FALSE it is 0.
F. Fuzzy Rules
In fuzzy logic systems, linguistic variables use fuzzy rules.
IF-THEN rules:
Fuzzy sets are the subjects and fuzzy operators are the verbs of FG theory. For making the
conditional statement of FG, "if-then" rules are used. Formation of a simple fuzzy if-then
rule is given below.
Example: if a is A then b is B.
Here A and B are linguistic values given by fuzzy sets on the ranges (universes of discourse)
a and b, respectively. The if-part of the rule "a is A" is called the premise and the then-part
of the rule "b is B" is called the conclusion. Some examples are given below.
If the temperature is very cold then the fan speed is stopped.
If the temperature is cold, then the fan speed is slow.
If the temperature is warm, then the fan speed is moderate.
If the temperature is hot, then the fan speed is high.

G. Defuzzification
The conversion from a fuzzy set to crisp output is called Defuzzification. In the
Defuzzification the performance will vary according to the output value of the membership
function. The process of Defuzzification is not a part of 'mathematical fuzzy logic'. Several
Defuzzification methods are presented in [120], namely centroid method, the centre of sums
and mean of maxima. The various fuzzy applications in power system are listed below.
1. Contingency analysis
2. Diagnosis/monitoring
3. Distribution planning
4. Load frequency control
5. Generator maintenance scheduling
6. Generation dispatch
7. Load flow computations
8. Load forecasting
9. Load management
