Automatic generation control of a combined cycle gas turbine plant with classical controllers using Firefly Algorithm
First time, the Firefly Algorithm (FA) is used for optimization of several parameters in CCGT plant. Small signal model of CCGT with secondary controller is developed for control of several parameters. Comparison of several classical controllers reveals that PID controller is better than others. Sensitivity analysis reveals that optimized PID gains obtained at nominal are robust. FA is very efficient and can outperform than other search algorithms like bacterial foraging.
