Multi-verse optimizer based Fuzzy-PI controller for robust frequency regulation in thermal-hydro power system

Abstract

This study presents a frequency regulation scheme using a fuzzy-based proportional-integral (FUZZY-PI) controller for two areas non-reheat thermal-hydro power system. Optimal tuning of controller parameters is achieved through a newly established metaheuristic algorithm called Multi-Verse Optimizer (MVO) algorithm. The superiority of the proposed controller has been proven by comparing it with recently published control approaches. The different figure of merits is used to evaluate the performance of the offered controller. The attained results confirm the effectiveness of the designed controller for studied power systems.
