“…To boost AGC outcome, different control and tuning approaches are available in the recent literature. Some of them implemented in various traditional and restructured systems are classical [1], minoritycharge carrier inspired algorithm optimized I/PI/ID [1], biogeography based optimisation based 3-degree-of-freedom-PID (3DOF-PID) [2], genetic algorithm (GA) based integral minus proportional derivative (IPD)/PI/PID [3,4], imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) based fuzzy-tilt-I-D with filter-double integral (FTIDN-II) [5], sine-cosine algorithm (SCA) tuned cascade fractional order (FO) PI-FOPIDN [6], SCA tuned cascade FOPI-FOPDN [7], wolf pack hunting strategy based control [8], multi-agent double deep Q network-action discovery (AD) based control [9], deep policy dynamics based win or learn fast-policy hill climbing (PDWoLF-PHC ) network based control [10], PDWoLF-PHC(λ) strategy [11,12], deep-reinforcement-learning-based three-network double-delay actor-critic control strategy [13], SCA optimized proportional derivative-proportional integral derivative with double derivative filter (PDPID + DDF) [14], grey wolf optimization (GWO) optimized PI/PID [15], artificial bee colony algorithm (ABCA) optimized PI/PID [16], hybrid firefly algorithmpattern search (hFA-PS) technique optimized PI/PID [17], ICA optimized PID [18], jaya algorithm-invasive weed optimization (JA-IWO) optimized PID [19], bacterial swarm optimization (BSO) optimized PID/FOPID [20], optics inspired optimization (OIO) optimized PID [21], symbiotic organisms search (SOS) algorithm optimized PID/PIDN [22,23], quasioppositional differential search algorithm (QODSA) optimized PI/PID [24], hybrid IWO-PS (hIWO-PS) tuned 2DOF-PID [25] and whale optimization algorithm (WOA) optimized cascade PIDN-FOPD [26]. Since, the operating conditions of power system are liable to vary widely over the time due to wearing out of the components, the conventional controllers optimized for fixed operating condition might work inappropriately in changed operating condition.…”
