Implementation of Load Frequency Control of Hydrothermal System under Restructured Scenario Employing Fuzzy Controlled Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

This paper presents the implementation of load frequency control (LFC) of hydrothermal system under restructured scenario employing fuzzy controlled genetic algorithm (FCGA). The concept of artificial intelligent techniques greatly helps in overcoming the disadvantages posed by the conventional controllers. Open transmission access and the evolving of more socialized companies for generation, transmission and distribution affects the formulation of LFC problem. So the traditional LFC system is modified to take into account the effect of bilateral contracts on the dynamics. Fuzzy logic is a powerful tool for dealing with imprecision and uncertainty while Genetic Algorithm is a potential tool for global optimization. A combined technique involving both these techniques called as fuzzy controlled genetic algorithm has been developed to remove the limitations of these techniques and also improve the dynamic performance of the system over the existing conventional techniques. Simulation results show that the system employing fuzzy controlled genetic algorithm has better dynamic performance over the system with traditional integral controller.
