Abstract

This paper presents a novel whale optimization algorithm (WOA) for automatic generation control (AGC) of two-area non-reheat thermal power system with the consideration of generation rate constraint (GRC). A power system is considered to be equipped with proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller, and its optimal parameters are obtained by whale optimization algorithm (WOA) considered as an integral time multiplied absolute error (ITAE) objective function. The outcome of this technique has been compared and analysed with the outcome of the recent heuristic optimization techniques: (i) hybrid firefly algorithm–pattern search technique (hFA-PS), (ii) bacteria foraging optimization algorithm (BFOA), (iii) genetic algorithm (GA) and (iv) conventional Ziegler–Nichols (ZN)-based PID controller for same interconnected power system. The sensitivity analysis is also done to show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed WOA for dynamic operating conditions at different system parameters.
