Scope of Meta-Heuristics Optimizer for Automatic Generation Control of Realistic Power System

In this paper, a comprehensive literature survey has been done on various heuristics and meta-heuristics search algorithms of Automatic Generation control (AGC). This research paper reveals the basic studies of the control techniques used in Automatic Generation control to generate and hand over an electric power in an interconnected power system as effectively and accurately as possible while supporting the voltage and frequency inside the acceptable boundaries. The survey consists of both single area and multi area power system and various control approaches of conventional power system and modern soft computing strategies which can be applicable to the load frequency approach.
