AGC (Automatic Generation Control) is a real-time control system that helps balance the power generation of a solar plant with the grid’s demand. In traditional power systems, AGC is commonly used to adjust the output of generators to maintain frequency stability.
[pdf] In this paper, we study the connections between AGC and ED by reverse engineering AGC from an optimization view, and then we propose a distributed approach to slightly modify the conventional AGC to improve its economic efficiency by incorporating ED into the AGC automatically and dynamically.
