Abstract
Embodiments provide systems, apparatus, and methods for power distribution operated under automatic generation control (AGC) based on comprehensive control performance standard (CPS) green zone control. Embodiments include a plurality of power generating resources operating within a control area; a plurality of power consuming loads; a power transmission network coupling the resources to the loads; and an energy management system (EMS) in communication with the resources and configured to control operation of the resources within the control area. The EMS is operative to: determine a control performance standard (CPS) green zone; operate an automatic generation control (AGC) system of the EMS in the determined CPS green zone; and output electricity to the loads from the resources under the control of the AGC of the EMS operating in the green zone. Numerous additional aspects are disclosed.
