Today's electric power system has become much more complex and difficult to control, but present control methods date from the 1950s. At a 1991 workshop, 62 experts including utility and university personnel as well as energy management system vendors and consultants defined and prioritized R D needs in automatic generation control to meet the utility requirements of the next two decades. Workshop participants identified 17 research needs in the area of AGC. In order of priority, the topics were: new formulation of AGC concepts; constrained dynamic dispatch; improved performance guidelines, standards, and measurements; coordination of energy management system and plant controls; environmental strategies and tools; dynamic modeling of generating units; predictive AGC; cost/benefit analysis of AGC; benefit/cost analysis of unit dispatchability; impact of AGC on nonconventional and emerging technologies; study of nonconforming load issues; security control, including risk; demand-side management in AGC; study of control-area load characteristics; control of jointly owned units; systematic approach to AGC design; and automatic real-time brokering.
