A literature survey on load-frequency control for conventional and distribution generation power systems

In this paper an extensive literature review on load-frequency control (LFC) problem in power system has been highlighted. The various configuration of power system models and control techniques/strategies that concerns to LFC issues have been addressed in conventional as well as distribution generation-based power systems. Further, investigations on LFC challenges incorporating storage devices BESS/SMES, FACTS devices, wind-diesel and PV systems etc have been discussed too. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
