Automatic Generation Control in Multi Area Power System using Fuzzy Logic Algorithm based Controller

Abstract

newlineEnergy is the defining need of the 21st century and renewable electrical energy has replaced most of the other conventional sources of the energy due to its cost, reliability and other advantages. The demand for electricity is rapidly increasing and thus integration of renewable energy generation plants in a multi area generation setup is required. This work aims at optimization of operational cost of power generation in a multi area power generation. System comprised of various types of power generation setups such as non-renewable energy like thermal and nuclear and renewable energy such as solar and wind electrical energy. The proposed work aims at development of fuzzy logic algorithm based controller with corresponding embedded hardware to demonstrate multi area power generation with priority to renewable energy optimization and generation cost depending on the varied load conditions. This work demonstrates embedded C controlled hardware controlled by fuzzy logic and implemented in MATLAB connected with RS232 port. newline newline
