Abstract: This paper deals with the automatic generation control (AGC) problem of a wind embedded two-area power system. Two areas are interconnected through parallel AC/DC transmission system with wind generation embedded in one of the control areas. The introduction of wind energy makes the control problem more challenging and therefore an energy storage emulating the dynamic effects of inertia is used to improve the dynamic performance of the system. The phase locked loop (PLL) dynamics are also considered by introducing a second-order function. Various modelling and control design aspects relevant to the problem are covered. Simulation studies are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink environment and the various controller parameters involved are tuned using genetic algorithm (GA) toolbox in MATLAB.

Keywords: automatic generation control; virtual inertia emulation; frequency response; wind generation; energy storage.
