INTELLIGENT AGENT APPLICATION FOR HYDRO-WIND ELECTRICITY GENERATION CONTROL Cameron Potter and Michael Negnevitsky School of Engineering - University of Tasmania E-mail: cpotter@utas.edu.au Abstract Intelligent applications in power systems are becoming increasingly prevalent as engineers realise the potential these systems have. However, scheduling of renewable power sources – especially hydro – is a difficult task and no system as yet has been created without flaws (or is ever likely to be). This paper investigates some of the issues generation control is posing in Tasmania and seeks to determine the best available technology to operate a hydro-wind generation system. 1. INTRODUCTION fuel consumption at the expense of ‘free’ hydro units [1]. However, if the system is no longer using fuel (in the This paper provides a survey of the most common power conventional sense) then the operation of the system is generation technologies and the systems most often used to entirely changed. The controllers are not worried about control them. The paper has a specific aim of investigating limiting purchased fuel (such as gas, oil or coal) but are the use of renewable power as the primary power source instead concerned with maximising the effectivene
