I. INTRODUCTION
Future energy systems networks will be completely
different to the power systems on nowadays [1], [2]. High
and low power converters will be massively deployed in
several areas on the electric network [3], [4], [3]: (i)
renewable energy from highly variable generators connected
over high power converters, (ii) several technologies for
energy storage with very different time constants, some of
them using power converters as an interface to the grid, and
(iii) Pan-European transmission network facilitating the
massive integration of large-scale renewable energy sources
and the balancing and transportation of electricity based on
underwater multi-terminal high voltage direct current
transmission. The developments of stronger interconnector
and massive integration of offshore wind power in remote
location are steadily increasing the demand for more robust,
efficient, and reliable grid integration solutions. Multi-
terminal Voltage source converter (VSC)-based HVDC
(MTDC) technology has the potential to increase
transmission capacity, system reliability, and electricity
market opportunities.
The developments of stronger interconnector and massive
integration of offshore wind power in remote location are
steadily increasing the demand for more robust, efficient, and
reliable grid integration solutions. Multi-terminal Voltage
source converter (VSC)-based HVDC (MTDC) technology
has the potential to increase transmission capacity, system
reliability, and electricity market opportunities.
The integration of VSC-HVDC links into transmission
systems has the potential to afford a powerful new tool for
controlling both over and under frequency conditions. The
high degree of controllability inherent to the active power
flow on an HVDC link allows rapid changes to the power
flow to be used to counter active power imbalances [5].
Primary frequency control in HVDC has been a hot topic
in recent times. Several publications has developed and tested
controllers to enable inertial response on HVDC systems [6-
9]. HVDC for primary frequency control has been considered
in several publications [10], [11], and the coordinated
primary frequency control among non-synchronous systems
connected by a multi-terminal high-voltage direct current grid
is studied in [12]. Also, the problem of providing frequency
control services, including inertia emulation and primary
frequency control, from offshore wind farms connected
through a MTDC network has been studied in [13]. However,
secondary and tertiary frequency control considering HVDC
or MTDC systems has deserved a very low attention in recent
publications.
This paper proposes a flexible Automatic Generation
Control (AGC) system for embedded HVDC link in order to
provide frequency sensitive response and control power
interchange.
II. PROPOSED AGC INCLUDING EMBEDDED HVDC LINK
The structure of the proposed AGC of the interconnected
power system or area is shown in Fig. 1. There are four
control levels of the active power and frequency control. The
upper system control level is presented by the AGC of the
power system. The input signals are the system frequency
measurement fmeas in the power, the scheduled power on the
interface (Ptie ) and line interchanges (AC lines: Pflow,k, and
DC lines: PDC,ij).

Based on tie-line interchanges, the net interchange power
(Pnet,ref) is calculated as:

In the AGC of the power system (at the system control
level) the system frequency deviation (Df) and the changes on
the net interchange power (DPnet) deviations are defined as:
sys reff f fD (2)
,net net net refP P PD (3)
where: fref is a frequency set point value (typically, the rated
or nominal frequency), Pnet.ref is a net interchange power set
point value. The area control error (ACE) is calculated as:
net biasACE P K f D D (4)
where: Kbias is the frequency bias.
In the event of the internal power imbalance of the power
system, ACE defines the power to be compensated by the
regulating power plants and the HVDC link in order to
enforce frequency stabilization between the areas [14]. In the
case of the external frequency disturbance due to the different
signs of frequency and net interchange power deviations ACE
value tends to zero that provides the selectivity of the AGC
operation depending on location of the disturbance [14], [15].
The unscheduled active power setting PAGC formed by the
proportional-integral (PI) controller on basis of is calculated
as follows: 2

P K ACE K ACEdt (5)
where: KP is the proportional gain of the PI controller; KI is
the integral gain of the PI controller; t1, t2 are the integration
limits.
As shown in Fig. 1, the control i-th AGC control signal
PAGCi, is transmitted to each regulating power plant, defined
according to the participation factor αi of individual power
plant in the secondary frequency control:
, αAGC i i AGCP P i = 1, 2, …, n (6)
At the power plant control level the signal PPCi formed by
the power plant PI controller is calculated as: 2

i = 1, 2, …, n
where: KPPC is the proportional gain of the power plant PI
controller; KIPC is the integral gain of the power plant PI
controller; Kf is the coefficient of frequency correction; and
DPTj is the sum of the turbine power change of the
generating units participating in the secondary frequency
control.
The distribution of the control signal PPCi at the i-power
plant control level is performed in accordance with the
participation factors βij of the generating units of i-power
plant in the secondary frequency control (see Fig. 2):
βij ij PCiP PD i = 1, 2, …, n and j = 1, 2,…,m (7)
where: n is the number of the regulating power plants; m is
the number of the generating units of the i-power plant; ∆Pij
is the control signal from the power plant controller. The
control signal ΔPij.ref is distributed in such a way that:
1

P P
D i = 1, 2, …, n
and
1 1 1

P P P
D i = 1, 2, …, n
The calculated control signal ΔPij from the power
controller is transmitted to the turbine governor of the
generating unit (aggregate control level) via the speed
changer motor (see Fig. 2). Further, according to the
reference control signal ΔPij, the turbine governor generates a
signal of the turbine power change ΔPtij. Thus, the power
changing of the generating units restores the normal
frequency and scheduled net interchange power.
Frequency quality will be maintained as ancillary service
instead of utilities, and different qualities in one system may
be requested depends on the framework of service.
The AGC is a significant control process that operates
constantly to balance the generation and load in power
systems at a minimum cost. In this paper, the proposed AGC
include a control system to provide signals to embedded
HVDC links in order to provide frequency sensitive response
and control power interchange.
III. SIMULATION AND RESULTS
The IEEE 14 Bus Test Case represents a portion of the
American Electric Power System (in the Midwestern USA) as
of February, 1962. The original IEEE 14-bus system (as
presented on [16], [17]) has been slightly modified, the
system has three Power Plants and a boundary has been
defined to establish 2 operational areas (Area 1 and Area 2 in
Fig. 2). Not depicted in Fig. 2, but included in the system
model, are generator controllers (IEEE Type 1 speed-
governing model), such as the automatic voltage regulators
(SEXS, Simplified Excitation System).
The interface between areas is defined by three overhead
transmission lines (OHL 1-5, 1-2/1 and 1-2/2), as
consequence the AGC is developed to monitor and control
the net power interchange on them.
