Development and Implementation of Advanced Automatic Generation Control. Final Report of Task 2. Definition of Performance Criteria and Development of Prototype Algorithms

摘要

Task 2 of the advanced Automatic Generation Control project has been concerned with two principal areas of investigation: (1) the formulation of quantitative criteria which can be used for measuring AGC performance, and (2) the development of prototype AGC algorithms. The Project Management Plan, drawn up in August, 1977 identified four specific work topics (subtask) within Task 2; they were: (1) Performance Criteria: quantitative criteria were to be formulated for measuring AGC performance. Recommendations were to be made regarding the application of the performance measures in comparing alternative AGC logics - in both simulation studies and on-line studies on the Wisconsin Electric Power Company system. (2) Load Prediction Algorithm: A prototype load prediction algorithm was to be developed for the purpose of providing look ahead capability for an economic dispatch that is subject to unit rate limits and which may include the dispatch of valve-point loaded units. (3) Dynamic Optimal Dispatch Algorithm: A prototype algorithm was to be developed for the purpose of economically dispatching generation to the predicted load during the upcoming time horizon. The convergence characteristics and computational efficiency of the algorithm were to be investigated. The algorithm was to include the capability for valve point loading. (ERA citation 09:016666)
