Funding entity Endesa Medios y Sistemas S.L

Endesa has a primary EMS in Madrid and secondary EMSs in Montearenas, Lérida and Sevilla. The AGC control in the primary EMS sends control signal to each individual thermal units a to the secondary EMSs. Each secondary EMS then distributes the received signal among the individual hydro units. This research project analyses the possibility of sending control signal from the primary EMS to each individual hydro unit and studies the due changes to allow this control.

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