Abstract

The paper presents an optimized FLC using GA for AGC of a two-area non-reheat thermal system. The design of the FLC is carried out by automatically tuning the parameters of membership functions of the FLC using GA by minimizing the integral time absolute error (ITAE) based fitness function. The effectiveness of GAFLC is shown over GA-tuned PI controller (GAPI) for the same model.
