Teaching learning based optimization algorithm for automatic generation control of power system using 2-DOF PID controller

Abstract In this paper, a novel Teaching Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) algorithm with 2-Degree Freedom of Proportional–Integral–Derivative (2-DOF PID) controller is proposed for Automatic Generation Control (AGC). Initially a widely used two area thermal system is considered and the gains of the PI/PID/2-DOF PID controller are optimized employing a TLBO algorithm. The supremacy of the proposed 2-DOF PID controller has been shown by comparing the results with recently published technique such as conventional ZN, GA, BFOA, DE and hBFOA-PSO based PI controllers for the same system. Additionally, the proposed approach is further extended to multi source power system such as thermal, hydro and gas power plant. The advantage of the proposed approach is demonstrated by comparing the results with some recently published approaches. Sensitivity analysis is performed which demonstrates the ability of the proposed approach to wide changes in system parameters. Finally the proposed approach is investigated under random load variation.
