Abstract
Renewable energy sources such as hydropower, solar energy, wind power, etc. are being utilized throughout the world due to their eco-friendliness, cleanliness and costeffectiveness nature. Hydropower plant especially small hydropower plants are progressively installed in water distribution network, because of its several advantages over large hydropower plant. In the present paper, Small hydropower plant uses generalized PID controllers in its governor and excitation system to regulate terminal voltage of the synchronous generator against any disturbance. Thus, for voltage regulation and the apt operation of controllers, controllers have been tuned using PSO algorithm along with relatively new techniques such as PIO and JAYA algorithm for minimization of various integral performance indices in MATLAB & Simulink environment.
