Adaptive fuzzy gain scheduling for load frequency control

An adaptive fuzzy gain scheduling scheme for conventional PI and optimal load frequency controllers has been proposed. A Sugeno type fuzzy inference system is used in the proposed controller. The Sugeno type fuzzy inference system is extremely well suited to the task of smoothly interpolating linear gains across the input space when a very nonlinear system moves around in its operating space. The proposed adaptive controller requires much less training patterns than a neural net based adaptive scheme does and hence avoiding excessive training time. Results of simulation show that the proposed adaptive fuzzy controller offers better performance than fixed gain controllers at different operating conditions
