ABSTRACT

Power Frequency Control In An Isolated Power System Using Semi

Conducting Magnetic Energy Storage System.
Thisprojectpresentsamethodofautomaticgenerationcontrolofpowersystembyincluding
energy storage devices (SMES & EDLC). This technique is applied to a control system that
includes two areas having reheat and nonreheat steam turbines and connected through
powerline. A discrete time model of this system is developed and simulated by using MATLAB
Programing. As a consequence of continually load variation, the frequency of the power system
changes over time. In conventional, studies, frequency transients are minimized by using
conventional integral and proportional controllers aiming of secondary control of AGC and zero
steadystate error is obtained after sufficient delay time. In this study, the conventional PI

small capacity energy storage system is studied in relation to supplying sudden power
requirements of real power load. According to the deviation of the power system energy demand,
the storage device releases the needed energy or absorbs residue energy from power system.

Power system parameters are a function of the operating point. To keep the system
performance near its optimum, it is desirable to track the operating point and use the updated
parameters to compute the control signal.It may be possible to represent such a system by a
linear low order discrete time model with time varying parameters. A recursive least
squares(RLS) parameter estimation technique, which has a fast convergence rate is used in
this work to estimate these time varying parameters. Based on this model which is tracks the

strategy. Thus, the process is the equivalent of a controller with dynamically changing
coefficientsandisreferredtoastheselftuningregulator(STR).
A power system must be able to meet reasonable power demands by large and small
customers of domestic, commercial and industrial type. It must withstand with reasonable
security the capricious forces of nature. In an age of high energy costs it is called upon to
transform the prime energy resources into electric form with an optimum overall efficiency. The
control functions are obviously many and varied. Some control and decision processes,
exemplified by the optimal utilization of the controlled flow of river systems involve dynamics with
monthlong time constants. Other phenomena, like the transients on the transmission lines
following lightning strikes, run their course in a few milliseconds. The slower control processes
are normally handled by computerassisted human operators. The faster control functions are
