Normally, the power system operates in normal state which is characterized by constant frequency and voltage profile with certain system reliability. For a successful operation of power system under abnormal conditions, mismatches have to be corrected via supplementary control. Automatic Generation Control (AGC) or Load Frequency Control is a very important issue in power system operation and control for supplying sufficient and reliable electric power with good quality.

An interconnected power system can be considered as being divided into control areas, which are connected by the tie lines. In each control area, all generators are assumed to form a coherent group. The power system is subjected to local variations of random magnitude and duration. The frequency of a system depends on active power balance. Due to unnecessary error in the past, conventional PI controller use for provide adequate control performance with the consideration of nonlinearities and boiler dynamics.

The model to represent the boiler dynamics, Boiler is a device meant for producing steam under pressure. The model is basically for a drum type boiler. An oil/gas fired boiler system has been employed in this study, since such boilers respond to load demand changes more quickly than coal-fired units. The changes in generations are initiated by turbine control valves and the boiler controls respond with necessary control action. Changes in steam flow and changes in throttle pressure, the combustion rate and hence the boiler output.

Boiler is a device for producing steam under pressure. this model is drum type boiler. An oil/gas fired boiler system has been considered in this study, because such boilers respond to load demand changes more quickly than coal fired units (Chen et al., 2008). Drum type boiler is otherwise known as recirculation boilers which rely on natural or forced circulation of drum liquid to absorb energy from the hot furnace walls, called water walls for generating steam. The boiler receives feed water which has been preheated in the economizer and provides saturated steam outflow.

The proportional-integral (PI) controller has received a great deal of attention in the process control areas. It is used as a feedback controller which drives the plant to be controlled with a weighted sum of the error and the integral of that value.

To achieve better dynamic performance and to provide accuracy, Proportional Integral (PI) controller is adopted. The main idea of implementing PI controller is to actuate the load reference point until the frequency deviation becomes zero.

Literature survey shows that many utilities such as frequency control and voltage control use PI controller to achieve improved dynamic performance. The task of load frequency controller is to generate a control signal (u) that maintains dynamic parameter at predetermined values.

Where, F = change in frequency and Ptie = change in tie line power

Simulation result of PI controller:-

Simulations were performed using conventional PI controllers applied to a two area interconnected hydrothermal system considering non-linearities and boiler dynamics. The system is simulated with 1 step load disturbance in hydro area (Nanda et al., 2006) have concluded that for the same perturbation, hydro area takes more settling time than in thermal area.

The thermal system is incorporated with both nonlinearities (GDB and GRC) and boiler dynamics. The hydro area includes both non-linearities. To design conventional PI controller gains, Integral Square Error (ISE) technique is used. Due to the fixed value of these gains the dynamic performance is not satisfactory. So an alternate controller i.e., fuzzy logic controller is proposed. The simulation results shows that FLC has better control performance over conventional PI controller even with the consideration of nonlinearities and boiler dynamics.
