Abstract:
The load change in a synchronous generator (SG) based power generation system is common which will mainly influence the change in voltage, power flows, frequency, load angle and burden of transmission lines and transformer due to change in current flow. The study which analyses the behavior of load change, compensating devices and its impact on change in frequency and real power flow is termed as load frequency control. The generators like Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG), SG are supplying power in one area and total two areas are considered in this paper. The load change is done in area-1 only and change in frequency is observed in both areas. Two cases, one with thyristor based controller capacitor storage phase shifters (TCPS) and other with superconducting magnetic storage system and hybrid models of such are done and in other case, Flexible AC Transmission devices such as TCPS, SSSC, UPFC and IPFC are used. Earlier authors shown that compared to battery and ultra-capacitors, super conductor magnetic energy storage system (SMES) plays a vital role and few authors observed frequency regulation with different FACTS devices. Hence, we extended with SMES and FACTS devices and also in coordination manner to observe which combination gives better performance for the same disturbance. Using MATLAB software, the frequency change is observed in both cases, in the first case, TCPS is found better and in the second case, IPFC is found better in compensating the frequency change.
