Abstract
A power generator controller includes a power system monitor and a power generator output optimizing part. The power system monitor keeps check on current status of a power system and puts out an electricity demand. The power generator output optimizing part solves an objective function for determining outputs of power generators of the power system at an interval under a supply and demand balancing constraint which imposes agreement between electric power demanded and electric power supplied. The objective function minimizes total costs in power generation. The power generator output optimizing part solves the objective function further considering an automatic frequency control capacity constraint based on an upper limit of rates of change of outputs of power generators of the power system.
