b) Modify the data file (Data_1A.m) accordingly.
c) Select a suitable value of the Regulation Constant to achieve best steady-state and transient responses
subject to a generation outage of 100 MW.

d) Modify the Simulink model to obtain Automatic generation control.
e) Select a suitable value of the Integral Gain Constant to achieve the best transient response subject to
a generation outage of 100 MW.
Select Ki = 1.9
f) Check the obtained steady state frequency manually as studied in the course.

𝛥𝑃12 = 61 𝑀𝑊 that means Area 1 feeds Area 2 with 61 MW 𝛥𝑓𝑠.𝑠 = 0.023 𝐻𝑧
b) Modify the Simulink model according to your control case study by adding the TLB control block (ACE
= Ptie + B F and Integrator).
c) Repeat a) for different values of controller gain to obtain the best performance.
𝐵1 = 𝛽1 = 22.622
𝛥𝑓𝑠.𝑠 = 0 𝐻𝑧 as the outage happened in Area 1 which is Bias controlled. Therefore 𝛥𝑃12 = 0
𝛥𝑓𝑠.𝑠 = −0.016 𝐻𝑧 as the outage happened in Area which 2 is uncontrolled Therefore Area 1 feeds Area

studied in the course.
