LOAD FREQUENCY CONTROL OF HYDRO THERMAL AND NUCLEAR INTERCONNECTED POWER SYSTEM USING FUZZY AND ANN CONTROLLERS. 1 K. SUDHEER KUMAR, 2 A. PRASAD 1 P.G Scholar (EPS), Dept. of EEE, NEC ‐ Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India, Email: [email protected] 2 Assistant Professor, Dept. of EEE, NEC ‐ Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper present analysis on dynamic performance of Load Frequency Control (LFC) of four area interconnected hydrothermal and nuclear interconnected power system by the use of Artificial Intelligent, Fuzzy and PI Controller. In the proposed scheme, control methodology developed using conventional PI controller, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Fuzzy Logic controller (FLC) for four area interconnected hydrothermal and nuclear power system. In this paper area1 and area2 consists of thermal reheat power plant and area3 consists of hydro power plant whereas area4 consists of nuclear power plant. In this proposed scheme, the combination of most complicated system like hydro plant and thermal plant with reheat turbine and nuclear plant are interconnected which increases the nonlinearity of the system. The generator inertia and load values have been different for thermal–reheat plants, same inertia and load value for hydro and nuclear plant. The performance of the controllers is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK package. A comparison of PI controller, Fuzzy controller and ANN controller based approaches shows the superiority of proposed ANN based approach over Fuzzy and PI for same conditions. To improve the performance of PI, Fuzzy and neural controller sliding surface is incorporated. The simulation results also tabulated as a comparative performance in view of settling time and peak over shoot.

INTRODUCTION Now a day’s population has been increased rapidly. Such that more population requires, more power with reliability and security. Power systems are very large and complex electrical networks consisting of generation networks, transmission networks and distribution networks along with loads which are being distributed throughout the network over a large geographical area. For that purpose, Electrical Power systems are interconnected to provide secure and economical operation. Power system is typically divided into control areas, with each consisting of one or more power utility companies. Sufficient supply for generation of each connected area to meet the load demand of its customers. Automatic Generation Control (AGC) or Load Frequency Control (LFC) is a very important issue in power systems for supplying reliable electric power with good quality [1, 2]. Automatic Load Frequency Control helps to diminish the transient deviations in addition to making the steady state error to zero. For successful operation of interconnected power system total generation should be equal to the total load demand plus system losses. A sudden load change in any area of interconnected power system causes the deviation of frequencies of all the areas. The main objectives of AGC are to maintain the megawatt output and the nominal frequency in an interconnected power system [3, 4]. Different types of control techniques such as classical control, variable structure control and robust control have been applied to the LFC problem [5]. Conventional PI controller is simpler for implementation but its settling time is more and it produces large frequency deviation. As an alternative to conventional PI controller, Fuzzy Logic Controller has been widely used for nonlinear and complex systems. However, it is demonstrated good dynamics only when selecting the specific number of membership function, so that the method had limitation. To overcome this Artificial Neural Network (ANN) controller, which is an advance adaptive control design, is used because the controller provides quicker control than the others. In this paper, the performance evaluation based on PI controller, Fuzzy controller and Artificial Neural controller for four area interconnected hydro ‐ thermal and nuclear power plant is proposed. The sliding concept arises due to variable structure concept. This paper is organized in five sections; the first section is the introduction part which is explained above. In section 2 how two areas are interconnected by tie line is shown and describes the mathematical modeling of the interconnected thermal‐hydro, nuclear power systems. Section 3 presents the design procedure of controllers used, in which conventional PI and fuzzy logic controller, Ann controller are discussed in detailed. Section 4 is devoted to the simulation models and simulation results. Conclusion is given in section 5. 2.

Inthispaper,theperformanceevaluationbasedonANN,Fuzzy and conventional PI controller for four areasinterconnectedhydro–thermalandnuclearpowerplantis proposed. The sliding concept arises due to variablestructure concept. The purpose of VSC has been reallyextendedfromstabilizationtonewcontrolfunctions.Themostwell‐knownaspectofVSCisitscapabilitytoresultinvery robust control systems; in many cases invariantcontrolsystemresult.Theterm‘invariant’meansthatthesystem is completely insensitive to parametricuncertainty and external disturbances [12]. The aim ofcontrolareasareas:

(i)Eachcontrol areaas for aspossible shouldsupply itsown load demand and power transfer through tie lineshouldbeonmutualagreement.

(ii) Each control areas should controllable to thefrequencycontrol.[11]

With 1% load variation in power system the followingresults are obtained. Conventional PI and Intelligent(Fuzzy and ANN ) control approach with inclusion ofslider gain provides better dynamic performance andreduces the steady state error and oscillation of thefrequency deviation and the tie line power flow in eacharea in hydro‐thermal and nuclear combination of fourarea interconnected power system.
