Power Frequency Oscillation Suppression Using Two-Stage Optimized Fuzzy Logic Controller for Multigeneration System

Abstract EN

This paper attempts to develop a linearized model of automatic generation control (AGC) for an interconnected two-area reheat type thermal power system in deregulated environment.

A comparison between genetic algorithm optimized PID controller (GA-PID), particle swarm optimized PID controller (PSO-PID), and proposed two-stage based PSO optimized fuzzy logic controller (TSO-FLC) is presented.

The proposed fuzzy based controller is optimized at two stages: one is rule base optimization and other is scaling factor and gain factor optimization.

This shows the best dynamic response following a step load change with different cases of bilateral contracts in deregulated environment.

In addition, performance of proposed TSO-FLC is also examined for ± 30 % changes in system parameters with different type of contractual demands between control areas and compared with GA-PID and PSO-PID.

MATLAB/Simulink® is used for all simulations.
