Firefly algorithm optimized fuzzy PID controller for AGC of multi-area multi-source power systems with UPFC and SMES

In this paper, a Firefly Algorithm (FA) optimized fuzzy PID controller is proposed for Automatic Generation Control (AGC) of multi-area multi-source power system. Initially, a two area six units power system is used and the gains of the fuzzy PID controller are optimized employing FA optimization te...
