Automatic Power Generation Control Structure for Smart Electrical Power Grids

Abstract

Smart electrical power grids with high saturation of intermittent, non dispatchable distributed energy resources (ING), and virtual networks with real-time rating for a new tools for automatic electrical power generation with control (A EPGC) structure. The main drawback of the intermittency are higher use of expensive spinning reserves, usually gas-fired units, nonrenewable sources units and thermal units because of variation of turbine valves of steam units and hydro units for load regulation system. This paper presents a new AEPGC structure to overcome the drawback of intermittency in electrical smart power grids. The constant pressure steam (CPS), thermal units and nuclear system of variable pressure steam (VPS) are controlled to low and high frequencies load dynamic based responses on a one-step head in advance load target. The distribution community storage (DCS) together with load dynamic response (DR) and aggregate DR as virtual generator (DR/VG) assets are used to control high-frequency load fluctuations. The INGs and nuclear units are used as base loads system.
