Abstract
The electrical power generation and distribution in power plant suffers from so many problems, such as instability of demand and generation. These lead to increase of generation cost. In this study, self-tuning fuzzy PID controller is developed to improve the performance of automated voltage regulation of a synchronous generator. The controller is designed based on the mathematical model of the system, which is estimated by using system identification technique. Simulation was carried out using Matlab Program to get the output response of the system. In addition, we used root locus methods before and after adding the PID controller. From the results, we conclude that the overall system response was improved significantly when using selftuning fuzzy PID controller.
