Power System Stabilizer Application for Load Frequency Control in Hydro-Electric Power Plant

摘要

Renewable energy provides 20% of electricity generation worldwide. Hydroelectric power is the cheapest way to generate electricity today. It provides almost onefifth of the electricity in world. Hydropower is produced in more than 150 countries. The main objective of this paper is modelling and analysis of the effects of the power system stabilizer (PSS) for load frequency control (LFC) system in hydro-electric power plant to damp the frequency oscillations due to different load distributions. LFC is the mechanism by which the energy balance is maintained. PSS is used to increase the system positive damping. The results of small signal stability analysis have been represented employing eigenvalue as well as time domain response.
