Optimal power flow (OPF) minimizes the production cost, while satisfying the constraints on the system, such as real and reactive power balance, equipment capability constraints, and voltage limits. This article presents a method of incorporating a frequency security constraint within the framework of the OPF problem. Increasing displacement of conventional generation by renewable resources that contribute little or no frequency regulation capability may necessitate the enforcement of such a constraint to meet frequency security requirements. The system frequency is required to be maintained within a safe limit, thus indicating the balance between generation and consumption. Hence, the solution for optimization of power flow should not only present a minimum cost of generation within the operating conditions, but also ensure frequency stability. In order to obtain this solution, the requirement of frequency stability …
