Bayesian-Network-Based AGC Approach

 

As discussed in Chapter 6, the AGC is becoming more significant today because of the increasing renewable energy sources, such as wind farms. The power fluctuation caused by a high penetration of wind farms negatively contributes to the power imbalance and frequency deviation. In this chapter, a new intelligent agent-based control scheme, using Bayesian networks (BNs), to design an AGC system in a multiarea power system is addressed. Model independency and flexibility in specifying the control objectives identify the proposed approach as an attractive solution for AGC design in a real-world power system. The BNs also provide a robust probabilistic method of reasoning under uncertainty. Efficient probabilistic ...
