OPTIMIZATION OF AGC PARAMETERS IN THE RESTRUCTURED POWER SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT USING GA

In this paper Automatic Generation Control (AGC) of two-area interconnected power system has been studied in the restructured environment. Genetic algorithm (GA) is used for optimization of integral control gains and bias factors. The concept of distribution company (DISCO) participation matrix(DPM)is presented to simulate the possible bilateral contracts between generating companies (GENCOs) and DISCOs. To show the effectiveness of GA two power system models are taken for the study. Dynamic responses obtained satisfy the AGC requirements.
