Frequency Stabilization for Thermal-Hydro Power System with Fuzzy Logic Controlled SMES Unit in Deregulated Environment

Abstract

This paper deals with the Automatic Generation Control (AGC) of two-area power system with SMES unit under deregulated environment. PID controller is used for AGC, three different tuning and optimization techniques are analyzed for effectively stabilize the frequency and tie-line power oscillations and these techniques are Ziegler - Nichols tuning (ZN), Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Results show PSO is more effective techniques to produce desired response. Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) is also emerging solution for suppression of frequency and tie-line oscillations. This paper also presents fuzzy logic controlled SMES in order to effectively suppress frequency and tie-line power oscillations. The effectiveness of proposed fuzzy logic controlled SMES justified in comparison of proportional plus integral (PI) controlled SMES.
