Application of GA and PSO Tuned Fuzzy Controller for AGC of Three Area Thermal- Thermal-Hydro Power System
Abstract—In this work applications of Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization techniques have been used to improve the performance of the Automatic Generation Control (AGC) in a three area power system. Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization have been used for optimizing the parameters of a Fuzzy logic controller (acting as the secondary controller in the AGC system).The controllers give improved dynamic performances for three area thermal-thermal-hydro power system under a variety of operating conditions.
Index Terms—Automatic generation control, Frequency deviation, Fuzzy logic, Genetic algorithm, Particle swarm optimization, Tie line power deviation.
