The goal of this study is to apply a newly developed algorithm known as the Ant-Colony Optimization Technique for PID controllers to a Microhydroelectric Power plant. Ant Colony Optimization is a new nature-inspired optimization technique used especially in combinatorial optimization problems (Bingul & Varol, 2004). A successful study conducted by Bingul and Varol showed that when the PID controllers were optimized with ant algorithm, desired response could be achieved. It also provides a global optimum solution for PID controller design problems. Presented with these advantages the realization of the identified method in the control system of the micro hydroelectric power plant has now become more appealing. Basically, this is a pioneering study in controlling the output of a Micro hydroelectric power plant. The system interfaces the generator output to the control system which contains the ACO, PID controller and the motor that will direct the valve according to the received control signal.
