Abstract
The paper presents the controllers to regulate the system frequency. The performance of the controller like PI and Fuzzy Logic
are proposed and compared on two area of power system. Fuzzy Logic controllers are found better than the conventional
method. Simulations have been performed using Matlab.
Key words: Two area frequency power system, PI controller, and Fuzzy logic controller
----------------------------------------------------------------------***------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. INTRODUCTION
The main purpose of operating the load frequency control is to
keep uniform the frequency changes during the load changes.
During the power system operation rotor angle, frequency
and active power are the main parameters to change.[13]
In multi area system a change of power in one area is met
by the increase in generation in all areas associated with a
change in the tie-line power and a reduction in frequency. In
the normal operating state the power system demands of areas
are satisfied at the nominal frequency. A simple Control
strategy for the normal mode is to operates in such a way that
1. Keep frequency approximately at nominal value.
2. Maintain the tie-line flow at about schedule.
3. Each area should absorb its own load changes.
Controller must be sensitive against changes in frequency and
load. To analyze the control system mathematical model must
be established. There are two models which are widely used,
1. Transfer function model
2. State variable approach.
The most applied controller is Conventional Proportional
Integral (PI) [3,6]. It is easier but usually gives large settling
time. Most research going on now is based on artificial
intelligent systems (fuzzy and neural networks). The inherent
gain of these techniques is that they do not require the system
model and identification but depend on human expertise
knowledge of the behavior.
In this paper, a fuzzy with and without PI controller is
proposed and performance comparison is carried out for
conventional PI.
2. TWO AREA SYSTEM
A two area system consists of two single area systems ,
connected through a power line called tie-line, is shown
in the Figure 1. Each area feeds its user pool, and the tie
line allows electric power to flow between the areas.
Information about the local area is found in the tie line power
fluctuations. Therefore, the tie-line power is sensed, and
the resulting tie-line power is fed back into both areas. It
is conveniently assumed that each control area can be
represented by and equivalent turbine, generator and
governor system.
Fig-1: (Two area power system)
Fig. 1 shows the block diagram representing the two area
power system . This model includes the conventional
integral controller gains (K1 , K2) and the two auxiliary
(stabilizing) signals( Δu1, Δu2). The stabilizing signals will
be generated by the proposed fuzzy logic load frequency
controller (FLFC).

Each power area has a number of generators which are
closely coupled together so as to form a coherent group,
i.e. all the generators respond in unison to changes in the
load. Such a coherent area is called a control area in
which the frequency is assumed to be the same
throughout in static as well as dynamic situation
There exists a maximum on the rate of change of power
that can be generated by steam plants. The constraints of
the nonlinear characteristics of the turbine control should
be considered in the load frequency controller design. If
these constraints are not considered in the controller
design, the power area is likely to chase large monetary
disturbance.
Since a tie line transports power in or out of an area, this
fact must be accounted for in the incremental power
balance equation of each area.
3. INTEGRAL CONTROL [14]
The integral control composed of a frequency sensor and an
integrator. The frequency sensor measures the frequency
error ∆f and this error signal is fed into the integratorThe
input to the integrator is called the Area Control Error (ACE).
The ACE is the change in area frequency , which when
used in an integral-control loop, forces the s steady-state
frequency error to zero.
The integrator produces a real-power command signal ∆Pc
and is given by
∆Pc = -Ki ∆fdt
= -Ki ACE dt
∆Pc = input of speed –changer
Ki = integral gain constant.
The value of Ki is given by below equation. [4]
Ki = 1/4τp Kps 1 +
Kps
R

= Kcrit
Fig-2: (two areas with PI)
The value of Ki is so selected that the response will be
damped and non-oscillatory.
In this case Ki< Kcrit .

controlwithPI
4. FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER
There are three principal elements to a fuzzy logic controller:
Fuzzification module (Fuzzifer)
Rule base and Inference engine
Defuzzification module (Defuzzifier)
Fuzzy control is based on a logical system called fuzzy logic.
It is much close in spirit to human Thinking than classical
logical systems . The LFC has been reported in several
papers is to maintain Balance between production and
consumption of electrical power. Due to the complexity and
Multi-variable nature of power systems, a conventional
control method has not provided satisfactory solutions.
The fuzzy logic control has tried to handle the robustness
, reliability and nonlinearities associated with power system
controls. Therefore a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) becomes
nonlinear and adaptive in nature having a robust
performance under parameter variations with the ability to
get desired control actions for complex uncertain , and
nonlinear systems without their mathematical models and
parameter estimation.
This work proposes a fuzzy controller with up to 49
rules with 7 membership function as negative big (NB) ,
negative medium (NM) , negative small (NS) , zero (ZE)

, positive small (PS) , positive medium (PM) , positive
big (PB) . For the control of Area control error (ACE) ,
there are two controllers , ACE and d/dt(ACE) [10].
Table-1 below shows the rules. The rules are interpreted as if
ACE is NB an d/dt(ACE) is NS then the output is
PM.Triangular membership functions are used for both
the inputs and output.
The Defuzzification method employed is the center of area
method [9, 11]. The overall two area system with Fuzzy logic
is shown in figure 3.

The value of Ki is given by below equation. [4] Ki = 1/4τp Kps 1 + Kps R 2 = Kcrit Fig-2: (two areas with PI) The value of Ki is so selected that the response will be damped and non-oscillatory. In this case Ki< Kcrit . The matlab simulink fig.2 shows the two area frequency controlwithPI 4. FUZZY LOGIC CONTROLLER There are three principal elements to a fuzzy logic controller: Fuzzification module (Fuzzifer) Rule base and Inference engine Defuzzification module (Defuzzifier) Fuzzy control is based on a logical system called fuzzy logic. It is much close in spirit to human Thinking than classical logical systems . The LFC has been reported in several papers is to maintain Balance between production and consumption of electrical power. Due to the complexity and Multi-variable nature of power systems, a conventional control method has not provided satisfactory solutions. The fuzzy logic control has tried to handle the robustness , reliability and nonlinearities associated with power system controls. Therefore a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) becomes nonlinear and adaptive in nature having a robust performance under parameter variations with the ability to get desired control actions for complex uncertain , and nonlinear systems without their mathematical models and parameter estimation. This work proposes a fuzzy controller with up to 49 rules with 7 membership function as negative big (NB) , negative medium (NM) , negative small (NS) , zero (ZE)

For the control of Area control error (ACE) , there are two controllers , ACE and d/dt(ACE) [10]. Table-1 below shows the rules. The rules are interpreted as if ACE is NB an d/dt(ACE) is NS then the output is PM.Triangular membership functions are used for both the inputs and output. The Defuzzification method employed is the center of area method [9, 11]. The overall two area system with Fuzzy logic is shown in figure 3.
