Automatic Generation Control using Whale Optimization Algorithm tuned PID Controller

This research work deals with the automatic generation control of a purely hydro-power system consisting of three areas. It can be done with the implementation of an optimization technique for the tuning of the proposed controller. An evolutionary algorithm called whale optimization algorithm (WOA) has been utilized for the automatic generation control (AGC) methodology. The control methodology has been inserted to eliminate the fluctuation with reference to the load connected with the system. The optimization technique is an important factor in this research work which is used to attain the desired output from the studied system. The deviation in the frequency profile for all three areas has been considered for the analysis of the investigated system. The simulation results yield some investigation based on the transient response, and through the responses, it may be reported that the propounded WOA based PID controller may be inserted in the purely hydro system consisting of three areas for minimizing the fluctuations.
