In power systems, the constant frequency, constant voltage, and the power output are desired and determine the quality of the generated electrical energy. Therefore, frequency control is crucial in power systems. The parameters of conventional controllers used in power generation plants are determined according to the system's characteristics at the stage of installation, they cannot adapt to the changing system dynamics as the lifespan of power plants increases. Thus, studies on the automatic adaptation of controller parameters to the continuously changing system dynamics are needed. In this study, conventional PI and PID controllers applied to the power system for frequency control of a hydroelectric power plant were examined comparatively with Fuzzy Gain Scheduled PI (FGPI) controller and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systembased PI (ANFIS-PI) and PID (ANFIS-PID) controllers in the simulation environment. The obtained results demonstrated that Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System-based controllers were quite successful compared to the others.
