The document discusses load frequency control and economic dispatch control in power systems. It explains that load frequency control maintains zero steady-state frequency error and fast response, but does not consider economic loading of generators. Economic dispatch control aims to optimize generator loading but acts more slowly. The document proposes using independent and coordinated load frequency and economic dispatch controls, with the economic dispatch controller adjusting generator output setpoints periodically based on signals from a central economic dispatch computer.

• Load frequency control with integral controller
achieves zero steady state frequency error and a fast dynamic response, but it exercises no control over the relative loadings of various generating stations (i.e. economic despatch) of the control area. Load Frequency Control and Economic Dispatch Control • For example, • If a sudden small increase in load (say, 1%) occurs in the control area, the load frequency control, changes the speed changer setting of the governors of all generating units of the area so that, together these units match the load and the frequency returns to the scheduled value (this action takes place in a few seconds) Load Frequency Control and Economic Dispatch Control • In the process of this change the loadings of various generating units change in a manner independent of economic loading considerations. • Some units in the process may even get overloaded. • Some control over loading of individual units can be exercised by adjusting the gain factors (Ki) included in the signal representing integral of the area control error as fed to individual units. However, this is not satisfactory. Load Frequency Control and Economic Dispatch Control • A satisfactory solution is achieved by using independent controls for load frequency and economic dispatch.
• While the load frequency controller is a fast acting
control (a few seconds) and regulates the system around an operating point. Load Frequency Control and Economic Dispatch Control • The economic despatch controller is a slow acting control which adjusts the speed changer setting every minute (or half a minute) in accordance with a command signal generated by the central economic despatch computer.
• Below Figure gives the schematic diagram of both
these control for two typical units of a control area. Load Frequency Control and Economic Dispatch Control • The signal to change the speed changer setting is constructed in accordance with economic despatch error, [PG(desired) – PG(actual)], suitably modified by the signal representing integral ACE at that instant of time. • The signal PG(desired) is computed by the central economic despatch computer (CEDC) and is transmitted to the local economic despatch controller (EDC) installed at each station. Load Frequency Control and Economic Dispatch Control • The system thus operates with economic despatch error only for very short periods of time before it is readjusted. Thank You
