scholarly journals A Robust Fuzzy Logic Controller Design for Load Frequency Control of Hydro Thermal Power Generating Stations

This article analyses the contribution of Fuzzy logic controller in a two source two area hydro thermal system aimed at load frequency control of the system. The proposed two area two source hydro thermal system is observed for different system parameter change to realize the dynamic behavior of frequency along with the interchanged power through tie line. To begin with, hydro and thermal power plants in a single control area for a step load variation is reviewed and the results for PI along with fuzzy logic controller are compared. Additionally a two source two area system is considered and the frequency and tie line power deviation with fuzzy logic controller is matched with results of PI controller. To witness the superiority of fuzzy logic controller, the connected generating system is run for different system parameter change. Simulation outcomes revealed that the recommended fuzzy logic controller put in enhanced output response when compared with conventional PI controller. The offsets found with the conventional controller can be estimably fell off with the suggested fuzzy logic controller.

A good electrical power system is a system that can serve the load in a sustainable and stable voltage and frequency. Changes in frequency occur due to the demand of loads that change from time to time. The frequency setting of the PLTG power system depends on the active power charge in the system. This active power setting is done by adjusting the magnitude of the generator drive coupling. The frequency setting is done by increasing and decreasing the amount of primary energy (fuel) and carried on the governor. Simulation in governor analysis study as load frequency control at PLTG using fuzzy logic controller is done by giving four types of cultivation that is 0,1 pu, 0,2pu, 0,3 pu and 0,4 pu. The simulation is done to compare the dynamic frequency response output and the resulting stability time using fuzzy logic controller with PI controller. Based on the results of comparative analysis conducted to prove that governor as load frequency control using fuzzy logic control is better than using PI controller. This can be seen from the output response frequency and time stability.

This study focuses on designing an effective intelligent control method to stabilize the net frequency against load variations in multi-control-area interconnected power systems. Conventional controllers (e.g. Integral, PI, and PID) achieve only poor control performance with high overshoots and long settling times. They could be replaced with intelligent regulators that can update controller parameters for better control quality. The control strategy is based on fuzzy logic, which is one of the most effective intelligent strategies and can be a perfect substitute for such conventional controllers when dealing with network frequency stability problems. This paper proposes a kind of fuzzy logic controller based on the PID principle with a 49-rule set suitable to completely solve the problem of load frequency control in a two-area thermal power system. Such a novel PID-like fuzzy logic controller with modified scaling factors can be applied in various practical scenarios of an interconnected power system, namely varying load change conditions, changing system parameters in the range of ±50%, and considering Governor Dead-Band (GDB) along with Generation Rate Constraint (GRC) nonlinearities and time delay. Through the simulation results implemented in Matlab/Simulink software, this study demonstrates the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed fuzzy logic controller over several counterparts in dealing with the load-frequency control of a practical interconnected power system considering the aforesaid conditions.

Frequency control is becoming increasingly critical today due to the growing size and changing structure of complex interconnected power networks. Scaling up economic pressures for efficiency and reliability of the power system has necessitated a requirement for maintaining system frequency, and tie-line power flows as close as possible to scheduled values. High-frequency deviations may degrade load performance, damage equipment, resulting in overloading of transmission lines, which may interfere with system protection schemes, and, finally, may also result in an unstable condition of the power system. More so, Load Frequency Control ( LFC) plays a vital role in the modern power system as an auxiliary service to support power exchanges and, at the same time, to provide better conditions for the trading of electricity. Therefore, the tuning of the dynamic controller (i.e., net frequency and net power interchange errors) is a significant factor in achieving optimum LFC performance. Appropriate tuning of the controller parameters is required in order to achieve excellent control action. In view of this, this paper introduces the dynamic tuning of controller parameters in a two-area multi-source power system with an AC-DC parallel tie line for optimum load-frequency control performance. Matlab/Simulink software is used to realize the system simulation. System dynamic performance is observed for conventional PID tuning by the Ziegler Nichols method and the Kitamori method, fuzzy logic controllers, fuzzy-logic PID controllers, fuzzy PID controllers, and polar-Fuzzy controllers. Furthermore, the frequency and tie-line power response of the interconnected areas were compared based on the setting-time, peak-overshoot, and peak-undershoot. The simulation results show that the responses of the fuzzy-based controllers are faster than those of the classical controllers, resulting in minimized frequency and tie-line power deviations.
