Abstract

This study highlights an attempt to propose novel Optimal Controller (OC) for automatic generation control (AGC) of restructured two-area multi- source electrical power systems comprising thermal, diesel, and two geothermal power plant (GTPP) generating units that have been included. The performance of OC is first tested on a multi-source two-area interconnected system comprising thermal-GTPP and diesel-GTPP power systems for various open electricity market power contracts. Further, the above system has been amalgamated with energy storage (ES) unit and redox flow battery (RFB) which are incorporated in both areas of the power system model, and their impact in enhancing AGC performance is carried out and evaluated. It has been revealed that OC is capable to meet the AGC criteria in a variety of scenarios. It has been revealed that OC is capable to meet the AGC criteria in a variety of market transaction scenarios. Further, the outcome of the MATLAB simulation reveals that improvement in the system's dynamic performance as a result of RFB.
