Abstract
In this paper, the optimal control of a system with two identical interconnected turbogenerators, which are connected to an infinite bus, is considered. The alternators are controlled through a linear feedback of the state variables. The feedback parameters are obtained by solving a nonlinear, two-point boundary-value problem. The values obtained for these parameters depend on the strength and duration of the disturbance, since the model is nonlinear, contrary to the usual feedback control of a linear model. In contrast to the model used in Ref. 1, the model used here includes the transfer function of the governors, the turbines, and the voltage regulators.
