This study presents the implementation of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) optimization in an island hybrid power system model using fuzzy logic-based load frequency control. The Island Hybrid Power System considered in this study consisted of various generation units and an energy storage system. The optimized control parameters of PID using ABC were used in an intelligent fuzzy logic controller. The profiles (power & Frequency) of isolated hybrid power system were improved using a Super Conducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) System. Individual controllers were used for wind turbine and diesel generators to control the power output for balancing the demand (frequency change control). Comparative analysis of power and frequency with the help of various classical and intelligent control configurations is presented. The outcome of the study shows that a minimum deviation in frequency and power is obtained through the proposed Intelligent Fuzzy Control approach for the considered isolated power system model.

The natural activities and human thinking forms the basis for fuzzy logic which presents based on different application perspectives. The performance of various energy storage systems life time can be improved by utilizing fuzzy logic controllers and back up in a hybrid power system especiallywhile usingrenewable sources. The Load Frequency Controllers (LFC) using classical control techniques are tuned based on trial and error methods.Also, when system complexity increases controller gives slow response, by considering the fuzzy intelligent control these system performances are improved. A soft computing fuzzy technique is employed to maximize the efficiency from solar panel to give maximumpower output.The various applications in power systems relating to energy storage system performance for energy management, controller for controlling the load-frequency in multi-area power system and for solar systems by considering the tracking efficiency which are utilized for synchronization into the grid.The fuzzy logic provides better improvement and efficiency when compared to conventional controllers. These controllers do not have any specific or particular procedure to implement in various applications. A brief review to fuzzy logic controllers (FLC) for energy storage systems LFC and PV solar MPPT is presented.

In a unified power system the Load Frequency Control (LFC) is taken for review looking at all aspects with various optimization techniques for optimizing the parameters of PI, PID and Fuzzy controllers. The power system with multi area consists of conventional, renewable and combination of both with some energy devices like SMES, battery sources is analyzed specifically in this manuscript. The controllers are designed for a deregulated environment of a power system for LFC. The Model Predictive Control (MPC) and some other control techniques are used to control LFC under various disturbances like GRC and dead band control. For the readers ease of understanding the time response comparison graph of the controller for single and multiple areas of power system is depicted.
