1. Implement the simple Automatic Generation Control (AGC) for two area network discussed in
the class in MATLAB Simulink. Use the appropriate values for the Inertia constants, turbine time
constants, generator time constants, regulation, frequency bias factors, etc.
a. Apply following time varying loads for both PL1 and PL2
i. PL1 a step signal at t = T1 and PL2 Constant
ii. PL1 a step signal at t = T1 and PL2 a step signal at t = T2 > T1
iii. PL1 a Triangle signal starting at t = T1 and PL2 consant
iv. PL1 a Triangle signal starting at t = T1 and ending at t = T2 and PL2 a Triangle
starting at T3 < T2 and ending at T4 > T2
b. Capture the waveforms of changes in loads, rotational angles, mechanical powers, valve
positions, Power flowing in the tie-line and ACEs.
c. Compare and comment on the above waveforms in Area 1.
d. Describe how changes in load demand affect the rotational angle and hence the
frequency. Use the appropriate waveforms obtained during the simulations to support
your claim.
e. Consider the scenario in part a (iv). Obtain the waveforms by changing PS. Describe the
tie-line bias control using the simulated results.
