Intelligent priority based generation control for multi area system

Abstract

ABSTRACT Increased innovation and automation for higher comfort level of living beings have stressed power sector for more units of power to be generated and supplied. To meet this demand, several generating stations are needed to be connected to supply this enormous load to end consumers. While interconnecting generated power of multi-area system, several problems are being encountered. In the current proposed work, 2-area interconnected power system has been considered and automatic generation control problem for single area loading and multi-area multi-type loading has been solved with the help of intelligent control strategy using TLBO algorithm. The proposed work has been processed and simulated in MATLAB and SIMULINK environment. Three types of loadings are considered in the proposed work. First one is single area fixed loading, second one is both area loading with different fixed load, and third one is increasing type load for fixed duration of time in single area. Based on the nature of severity of disturbances in power network, a fitness function has been designed for these multi-type of loadings to improve its transient response to avoid failure of synchronism and improve resiliency of power network to supply uninterrupted power to end consumers.
