Automatic Generation Control (AGC) Dynamic Simulation in PSSE

Introduction Climate change and environmental concerns are tremendously influencing and shaping the future of the power industry. As a positive consequence, there has been a remarkable, rapid increase in the past several years in the megawatts produced by renewable energy resources across the globe, and this trend will continue for the next decades. These renewable energy resources, including wind generating units and solar generation, are for the most part intermittent in nature. Smart Grid technologies will enable power systems to operate with larger amounts of these energy resources since they enable both the suppliers and consumers to compensate for such intermittency. New features addressing the intermittent nature of these resources should be added into Energy Management Systems (EMS) and power system planning, so that systems with Smart Grids can be operated safely.
