Automatic Generation Control (AGC) is a key component of Smart Grid technology. It is a system of interconnected components that work together to ensure the reliable and efficient operation of the power grid. AGC is responsible for controlling the output of power plants in order to maintain a balance between the supply and demand of electricity. It also helps to ensure that the frequency and voltage of the power grid remain within acceptable limits. AGC systems use a variety of technologies, such as advanced sensors, communication networks, and control algorithms, to monitor and adjust the output of power plants in real-time. This helps to ensure that the power grid remains stable and reliable. AGC systems also help to reduce the cost of electricity by optimizing the use of resources. Some of the companies in the Automatic Generation Control market include ABB, Siemens, Schneider Electric, General Electric, and Eaton. Show Less Read more
