Bevrani, Hassan (2004) Decentralized robust load-frequency control synthesis in restructured power systems. Preface This dissertation is mainly focused on technical issues associated with load-frequency control (LFC) in restructured power systems. Operating the power system in a deregulated environment is more complex than in the past, due to the considerable degree of interconnection and the p...

One of the major challenges in restructured power systems is to maintain a level of generation capacity that ensures an acceptable level of certainty against power interruptions. A power market with a wellfunctioning spot market and long-term markets for allocation of risks between consumers and producers should in theory generate optimal investments in new power generation capacity, but this m...

Power system security and reliability have become challenging issues in the present restructured scenario. Nowadays, power systems are forced to operate under stressed operating conditions closer to their security limits due to increased loading and large interconnections. Under such fragile conditions, any small disturbance could endanger system security particularly in contingency conditions ...

Congestion and overloads in transmission lines always is one of the basic problems in the power system operation. Some of the consequences of this problem in the restructured power system are sudden price increasing in some areas, increase in market power and reduction in the competition in the market. FACTS devices as an efficient, powerful and economical means can have a key role in transmiss...

This paper proposes HNF approach for the applications of AGC of a hydro-thermal and Thermal-thermal systems in a power system deregulated environment. It makes an attempt to provide a new practical AGC model with Generation Rate Constraints to fulfill the needs of modern restructured interconnected systems in a Deregulated Environment.
