Distributed Control for Load Frequency of Power Networks Based on Iterative Gradient Methods with Line Search

Abstract

This paper deals with a distributed control based on gradient methods for load frequency of power networks including distributed generations, batteries, and renewable energies. The control objective is to minimize the cost function of load frequency control problem of power networks and to operate power systems optimally by means of distributed control based on gradient methods with Armijo and Wolfe type line search. Finally, simulation results of power networks including distributed generations show the effectiveness of the load frequency control.
