The research project «Optimization of the configuration and tuning of the Endesa´s AGC» has proposed a new regulator for the Endesa´s AGC. This regulator determines the rate demanded from each generating unit so that the regulating requirements Red Eléctrica de España requires from Endesa are fulfilled at a minimum operating cost. Simulations have confirmed the performance of the proposed regulator. The aim of this project is to implement the designed regulator in the current Endesa´s AGC. The main applications are expected to be: (1) the improvement of the current Endesa´s AGC performance and (2) the validation of the regulator to be implemented in the new Endesa´s AGC.

Research topics:
• *Automatic Generation Control: design and tuning of AGC regulators, identification of power plant models, primary and secondary regulation ancilliary services,
