Abstract
This research work uses Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) in order to contribute to Micro Hydro Power Plants (MHPPs) stability and dynamic performance improvement. Its effectiveness is shown through a comparative analysis to Conventional Controllers (CC) simulated in Matlab/Simulink 2018a. Both controllers are subjected to dynamic performance tests in order to evaluate their respective transient, performance and robustness responses in a designed MHPP. Results reveal that FLC provides an average reduction of 4.91s and 14.11% respectively in response time and overshoot. These results show that FLC has significantly improved the stability and the dynamic performance of the MHPP.
