Electricity demand continues to rise on a daily basis. The most difficult task is ensuring that customers have access to reliable, high-quality electricity regardless of the weather. Automatic generation control (AGC) accomplishes this by keeping the target output power and frequency constant despite load fluctuations. This paper presents a hybrid PID-fuzzy controller for optimal automatic generation control in a two-area interconnected power system. A comparative analysis of the proposed controller was performed with the PID controller. The parameters of the both controllers were developed by simulated annealing (SA) techniques in order to obtain the best dynamic performance. MATLAB Simulink software was used to simulate the models. The results of the simulation for the two-area power system based on simulated annealing using the hybrid PID–fuzzy controller showed superior performance in comparison to a conventional PID controller.
