Evaluation of K-factor calculation procedure
September 2025 - April 2026
Funding entity European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-e)
The aim of the collaboration is to perform an investigation on the methods to determine the K-factor of a frequency regulation area. The variations of the K-factor taking place in the Continental European system will also be addressed.
Research topics:
- Automatic generation control: Design and tuning of AGC regulators, identification of power plant models, primary and secondary regulation ancilliary services
- Stability: Large disturbance stability, tuning of frequency loadshedding schemes, excitation control, small disturbance stability, tuning of power system stabilizers, identification of AVR and governor models
