Abstract: This paper deals with the combination of automatic generation control (AGC) of thermal system with automatic voltage control (AVR). In this particular work thermal unit is considered with single area concept. The primary purpose of the AGC is to balance the total system generation against system load and losses. Any mismatch between generation and demand causes the system frequency to deviate from scheduled value. Thus high frequency deviation may lead to system collapse. Further the role of automatic voltage regulator is to hold terminal voltage magnitude of synchronous generator at a specified level. The interaction between frequency deviation and voltage deviation is analyzed in this paper. System performance has been evaluated at various loading disturbances. This paper describes the design, implementation and operation performance of fuzzy controller as part of the combined loop of AGC & AVR for single area power system. The fuzzy controller is implemented in the control of ACE calculation in the case of AGC & excitation in case of AVR, which determines the shortfall or surplus generation that has to be corrected. In the case of AVR, fuzzy with PID has been implemented.
