Abstract
With this article, a hybrid FLC-PID controller is used to design, simulate, and control automated generation control (AGC) and automatic voltage regulator (AVR) for a four-area connected hydropower facility. This was targeted to reduce the frequency and voltage deviations that arise during load variations. Instead of the traditional PI and PID controllers, this system uses an FLC because the advanced values of the traditional regulator are fixed for load variation, but their gain values are constant. Many techniques have been proposed to resolve the drawbacks of conventional controllers. The outcomes display that if the loads continuously vary, this leads to frequency and voltage irregularities that are difficult to control without a governor. The PID control technique achieves nil steady-state error in the system's voltage and frequency; however, it shows humble dynamic performance, leading to maximal overshoot and a long settling time compared to this paper's control. The outcomes display that the FLC-PID controllers were used to improve performance and intelligently control the selection of parameters in order to achieve effective power control compared to PID control of the AGC and AVR, which is realized using Matlab.

Keywords
