Enhancing AGC Efficiency and Settling Time in Multi-Area Power Systems with GrasshopperBased PID Optimization under Open Market Dynamics

This paper delves into the optimization of Automatic Generation Control (AGC) using a Grasshopper-based PID approach in multi-area power systems. It investigates the performance of this method in scenarios both with and without High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) links, operating under an Open Market System. Through simulations, the study evaluates the effectiveness of the Grasshopper-based PID controller in maintaining system stability and enhancing power generation within a competitive energy market. The findings provide insights into the adaptability of this technique across different network configurations, shedding light on its potential to enhance AGC efficiency and grid robustness in a dynamic energy landscape. This research contributes to advancing AGC strategies in complex energy markets, offering DISCO's and TRANSCO's a robust solution for optimized power generation, improved stability, and reduced frequency deviations in multi-area systems.
