The document discusses frequency control in power systems. It describes:
1) Primary frequency control, which is automatic and decentralized, with generation units adjusting output to maintain the generation-load balance in real-time following a disturbance.
2) Secondary load-frequency control, which is centralized and uses remote measurements to calculate a control level signal to modify generation unit outputs over time, restoring frequency to its reference value and balancing cross-border power exchanges.
3) Parameters for secondary control including the integral gain, control range, and constant λ, which according to Darrieus' Law should be set equal to the primary frequency characteristic for the control area to ensure only that area compensates for disturbances within it.
