The controller is the key element of a control system to compare the controlled value to the desired value. From the comparison, if any deviation exists, the controller adjusts it. It is basically a device that generates the control signals to alleviate the deviation of the real value from the required value to either zero or an inconsiderable level. The controller ensures the plant’s efficiency and smooth run. Indeed, the frequency is a sensitive parameter of the power system, which needs to be maintained within rigid limits. Thus to control the frequency, AGC is considered an essential part of the power system, where the controller plays an important role. This chapter explains various control techniques with mathematical modeling and block diagram illustrations. Further, error functions are discussed, which have been used as an objective function in AGC.
