Abstract

Abstract: The incessant swell in size, complexity, nonlinearity and structural variations in modern electric power systems, as well as rise in power demand has entailed the use of intelligent control strategies for the real-time satisfactory operation of power system. Hence, in this paper, a novel fuzzy PID with filter plus double integral (FPIDF-II) controller is proposed for automatic generation control (AGC) of two-area interconnected power systems. Initially, a well accepted two-area non-reheat thermal system is considered and the output scaling factors (SF) of FPIDF-II controller are optimized using imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) employing an integral squared error (ISE) criterion. The supremacy of the proposed approach is demonstrated by contrasting the results with recently published optimal and various modern heuristic optimization techniques based controllers. To demonstrate the efficacy and scalability of the approach over other prevalent intelligent control techniques, the study is further extended to two-area non-reheat thermal system with governor deadband nonlinearity, two-area reheat thermal system, recently appeared two-area photovoltaic (PV)-reheat thermal system and two-area multi-source hydrothermal system. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is carried out to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed controller under broad variations in the system parameters from their nominal values.
