Abstract:Simulation scheme constructed by transient models is widely used for interconnected power system studies. However, it has shortcomings when used in automatic generation control (AGC) and AGC relevant fields. In this paper, a novel simulation scheme designed for AGC and its relevant studies is presented. The scheme uses dynamic energy balancing equation and a single central frequency as core algorithm. Moreover, models described by algebraic equations are adopted instead of transient models described by differential equations. The simplified models reduce computational power requirement to about 3% of transient models and require fewer parameters. By ignoring transient dynamics and inter-area oscillations which are insignificant in AGC timescale, the presented scheme achieves high computational efficiency and acceptable accuracy making it acceptable for up to year-long simulation. At the end of the paper, comparative tests are performed to provide differences, validity and accuracy of proposed scheme.
