description Due to the unpredictable and stochastic nature of renewables, current power networks confront operational issues as renewable energy sources are more widely used. Frequency stability of modern power systems has been considerably harmed by fast and unpredictable power variations generated by intermittent power generation sources and flexible loads. The main objective of the power system frequency control is to ensure the generation demand balance at all times. In reality, obtaining precise estimates of the imbalance of power in both transmission and distribution systems is challenging, especially when renewable energy penetration is high. Electric vehicles have become a viable tool to reduce the occasional impact of renewable energy sources engaged in frequency regulation mainly because of vehicle-to-grid technologies and the quick output power management of EV batteries. The rapid response of EVs enhances the effectiveness of the LFC system significantly. This research work investigates a deep learning strategy based on a long short-term memory recurrent neural network to identify active power fluctuations in real-time. The new approach assesses power fluctuations from a real-time observed frequency signal precisely and quickly. The observed power fluctuations can be used as a control reference, allowing automatic generation control to maintain better system frequency and ensure optimum generation cost with the use of demand management techniques. To validate the suggested method and compare it with several classical methods, a realistic model of the Indian power system integrated with distributed generation technology is used. The simulation results clearly indicate the importance of power fluctuation identification as well as the benefits of the proposed strategy. The results clearly show a considerable improvement in response performance indices, as the maximum peak overshoot was decreased by 21.25% to 51.2%, and settling time was lowered by about 23.34% to 65.40% for the suggested control technique compared to other controllers.
