The previous version for the automatic generation control page was a great conceptual introduction. However, it lacked elaboration on the types of automatic generation controls deployed in power systems. I have added acronyms (AGC, TGC, LFC) associated with automatic generation control. I have also added a new section elaborating on the types of automatic generation control, including turbine governor control, load-frequency control, economic dispatch, and optimal power flow. I also inserted an graph on steady state frequency-power relations for turbine generator control. I included hyperlinks to other wikipedia pages for more detail. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Imrami (talk • contribs) 00:35, 30 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How to control the frquency of hydal power plant?? Ayaz10374 (talk) 14:12, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

AGC is part of the primary control that operates on the scale of seconds without much human intervention. The dispatch is a part of the secondary control that happens on a much slower scale and involves actual people in addition to SCADA. Should this section be removed as not related to the subject of this article? Викидим (talk) 20:57, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In the referenced work by Glover et al., the turbine governor control and LFC are not described as two alternative versions ("types") of the control. Instead, LFC sets a target point for the governor control, identical to the way the frequency deviation guides the governor response of the TGC. Викидим (talk) 21:24, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
