This document discusses the need for automatic generation control and voltage control in power systems. Load demands are constantly changing, requiring real and reactive power outputs to be continuously regulated. Automatic controls are needed because manual regulation is not possible in modern power systems. The basic generator control loop uses load frequency control and automatic voltage regulation to maintain frequency and voltage within specified limits despite changes in load.

Voltage control • Need is because active and reactive power demands are never steady and continually change with rising and falling of the load. • Real power depends on frequency or i.e. P α f • Reactive power depends on voltage i.e. Q α V • Consider a steam turbo generator, i/p is steam here, we need to continuously regulate the i/p steam to match the active power demand • Also, the m/c speed will vary with consequential change in frequency i.e P will change. • Also the excitation of generator must be continuously regulated to match the reactive power demand with reactive generation or else, the voltage at various system buses will go beyond the prescribed limits. • In modern pwr systms manual regulation is not possible and hence automatic generation and voltage regulation equipments are used. Load frequency and excitation voltage regulation of a turbo generator - (Basic generator control loop) • The basic generator control loop figure is as shown- Basic generator control loop explanation- • In an interconnect power system load frequency control LFC and automatic voltage regulation AVR equipments are installed for each generator • The controller are set for a particular operating condition and • They take care of small changes in load demand to maintain the frequency and voltage magnitude within the specified limits • Changes in real power are mainly dependent on changes in rotor angle,ω and thus the frequency • Changes in reactive power is dependent on the voltage magnitude i.e. on generator excitation • Excitation system time constant is much smaller than the prime mover (turbine) time constant • And its transient delay is much faster and doesn’t effect load frequency control dynamic • Thus cross coupling between LFC loop and AVR loop is negligible • And hence both can be analyzed separately Automatic voltage regulator AVR (Alternator voltage regulator scheme figure-) AVR consists of - • Main exciter which excites the alternator field to control the output voltage • The exciter field is automatically controlled through e = Vref –VT and • Suitably amplified through voltage and power amplifiers. • It is a type of system that requires constant error e for a specified voltage at generator terminals • The block dgm consists of • 1. Potential transformer – It gives a sample of terminal voltage VT • 2. Differencing device- It gives the actuating error e = Vref –VT , which initiates the corrective action of adjusting the alternator excitation Error waveform is suppressed - carrier modulated carrier frequency being system frequency of 50Hz • 3. Error amplifier – It demodulates and amplifies the error signal. Its gain is ka • 4. SCR power amplifier and exciter field – it provides the necessary power amplification to the signal for controlling the exciter field. Assuming the amplifier time constant to be small enough to be neglected , the overall transfer function of these two is- Ke / (1 + Tef s) Where Tef is exciter field time constant • 5. Alternator – Its field is excited by the main exciter voltage VE. Under no load it produces a voltage proportional to field current. The no load transfer function is Kg / (1 + Tgf s) Where Tgf is generator field time constant The load causes a voltage drop, the effect is schematically represented by block G2. • 6. Stabilizing transformer - Tef and Tgf are large enough time constants to impair the system dynamic response. Now, dynamic response of a system can be improved by internal derivative feedback loop. The derivative feedback in this system is provided by means of a stabilizing transformer excited by exciter output voltage, VE. The transfer function of stabilizing transformer is VE = R1 ist + L1 dist dt Vst = M dist dt • Taking the Laplace transform Load frequency control (single area case ) • Consider power output of generator of closely knit electric area so as to maintain scheduled frequency. In such area, all gnrtrs speed up and speed down together maintaining their relative power angle. Such an area is called single area(vertical area) • For turbo generator, there are three models a) Governor model or turbine speed governing system b) Turbine model c) Generator-load model • a) Governor model or speed governing system of turbo generator • Speed governing system consists of 1. speed governor- senses change in speed/frequency 2. linkage mechanism – provides movement to control valve in proportion to change in speed 3. hydraulic amplifier – low power pilot valve movmnt is converted to high power piston valve movement • 4. speed changer – provides steady state power o/p setting to turbine b) Turbine model • Relation between change in power o/p of steam turbine ΔPt to change in steam valve opening ΔXE • Non-reheat turbine with single gain factor KT and single time constant TT c) Generator-load model • Relation between change in frequency as a result of change in generation when the load changes Load frequency control and Economic dispatch control • Load frequency control with integral controller achieves zero steady state frequency error and a fast dynamic response, but • It exercises no control over the relative loadings of various generating stations (i.e. economic dispatch) of the control area. • e.g. , if a sudden change in load occurs, in the vertical area, the load frequency control changes the speed change settings of governor of all generating units of the area, so that together these units match the load and ‘f’ returns to set value. • Some vertical over loadings of individual units can be exercised by adjusting the gain factor ki. • A permanent stationary solution can be achieved by using a separate or independent control for the load frequency and the economic dispatch. • While the load frequency controller is a fast acting control (few seconds), and regulate the system around a set operating point, • The economic dispatch controller is a slow acting control(every minute), and adjusts the speed change setting.
