Abstract

In this chapter, the Load Frequency Management (LFM) of an interconnected nuclear power network with an energy storage unit (ESU) is explained. The impact of the ESU in the proposed power system during emergency loading is analyzed in detail. A Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller is designed and implemented as a secondary controller for the LFM of the proposed power network. The Ant colony optimization (ACO) technique is utilized to optimize the gain parameters of the proposed controller. The impact of various ESUs such as battery energy storage system (BESS), fuel cell (FC), redox flow battery (RFB), ultra-capacitor (UC), proton exchange membrane (PMC) based FC, and supercapacitor energy system (SCES) is analyzed in detail. The proposed optimization technique-based controller is performed well and regulates the stability of the system frequency, in terms of quick settling time, minimal peak over, and undershoots.
