Real Power Regulation for the Utility Power Grid Via Responsive Loads
First Claim
1. A method of dynamically managing an electrical power system, comprising the steps of:
- determining measures of performance and control criteria for the electrical power system;
collecting at least one automatic generation control (AGC) input parameter to at least one AGC module and at least one automatic load control (ALC) input parameter to at least one ALC module;
calculating AGC control signals and loads as resources (LAR) control signals in response to said measures of performance and control criteria;
propagating AGC control signals to power generating units in response to control logic in AGC modules; and
propagating LAR control signals to at least one LAR in response to control logic in ALC modules.

Abstract
A system for dynamically managing an electrical power system that determines measures of performance and control criteria for the electric power system, collects at least one automatic generation control (AGC) input parameter to at least one AGC module and at least one automatic load control (ALC) input parameter to at least one ALC module, calculates AGC control signals and loads as resources (LAR) control signals in response to said measures of performance and control criteria, propagates AGC control signals to power generating units in response to control logic in AGC modules, and propagates LAR control signals to at least one LAR in response to control logic in ALC modules.
