Simultaneous economic dispatch and frequency regulation of power systems

摘要

Various examples are provided for feedback control of power systems. The feedback control can provide simultaneous frequency regulation and economic operation of a power system. In one example, a method includes obtaining a frequency difference associated with a generator of a power system; determining an output power adjustment based at least in part upon the frequency difference and a cost function associated with the generator; and providing a power command to a secondary frequency control of the generator, the power command based upon the output power adjustment. In another example, a generator control system includes a primary frequency controller configured to control frequency droop of a generator of a power system; and a secondary frequency controller configured to adjust output power of the generator based at least in part upon a frequency difference associated with the generator and a cost function associated with the generator.
