Abstract – In an electric power system, Load Frequency
Control (LFC) is a system to maintain reasonably uniform
frequency, to divide the load between the generators, and to
control the tie line interchange schedules. Analysis of load
frequency control models of interconnected power system
representation with TCPS is series with tie line provide more
detailed information about the system. Interconnected
Power systems have advantage to maintain stability, ensure
continuity of supply and maintain the frequency to its
nominal value. The control of interconnected system is done
by Automatic Generation Control which compose of
Automatic Voltage Regulator and Load Frequency Control.
In this paper PI and FLC and TCPS in two area power system
is carried out and results are obtained. MATLAB software
was used to carry out the implementation.
Keywords: AUTOMATIC GENERATION CONTROL,

1. INTRODUCTION
The system we used is two area interconnected system. In
this two areas are connected through a tie line, which
allows the flow of electric flow among the interconnected
areas. The control unit monitors the system frequency and
tie line power derivation and tries to restore the normal
operating state of the system during unfavourable
conditions such as load perturbations.There is an
oscillation in the frequency till the steady state condition
is achieved. To damp-out these oscillations TCPS device
can be included [4] in the system and the same can meet
the sudden change in load.
Load Frequency Control (LFC) is a very important issue
power system operation and control for supplying
sufficient and both good quality and reliable power. [5] As
the Samah A. Rahim proposed integral and FLC
controllers, the frequency deviation response exhibited a
drop in the frequency of both systems for a few seconds
before the deviation was recovered to exactly zero error
[1]. After introducing FLC to the system, steady state was
reached in a less time range and oscillations were
eliminated. Yet, the steady state error was not completely
eliminated.
To increase the performance, we introduce the TCPS to
the system. By the TCPS, the settling time is reached in
seconds and the system performance is improved.
The section 2 deals with methodology of a LFC. Section 3
deals with AGC in single and Multi-area system. Section 4
deals with the implementation of controllers in two area
system. Controllers we used are Proportional Integral,
Fuzzy Logic Controller and Fuzzy with TCPS and we have
explained about construction and rules of FLC. Block
Diagrams and Results are also shown. Section 5 deals with
conclusion which includes the comparison of the PI, FLC
and Fuzzy with TCPS are tabulated and along with
references.
2. METHODOLOGY
2.1 Turbine speed governing system
When the generator electrical load is suddenly increased,
the generated power also increases to satisfy the load
demand, which in turns exceeds the mechanical power
input. This mechanical power deficiency is supplied by the
kinetic energy stored in the rotating system. The reduction
in kinetic energy causes the reduction in turbine speed and
consequently, the generator frequency falls. The change in
speed is sensed by the turbine governor which acts to
adjust the turbine input by adjusting valve position to
change the mechanical power output to bring the speed to
a new steady-state. The earliest governors were the Watt
governors which sense the speed by means of rotating fly-
balls and provide mechanical motion in response to speed
changes. There are some inherent drawbacks and
limitations of Watt type governor such as problem of
backlash, dead band and other nonlinearities etc. These
governors are mechanical type and hence slow in their
operation. However, most modern governors use
electronic means to sense speed changes and its control.
Figure 1 shows schematically the essential elements of a
conventional Watt governor which consists of the following
major parts:
Speed governor: this is heart of the system which senses
the change in speed (frequency). As the speed increases the
fly balls move outwards and the point B on linkage
mechanism moves downwards. The reverse happens when
the speed decreases.
Linkage Mechanism: These are links for transforming the
fly-balls movement to the turbine valve through a
