Robust PID Optimized Load-Frequency Controller of a Two-Area Power System Considering Systems Uncertainties

The Load Frequency Control (LFC) has been a major subject in electric power system and is becoming more significant system in recent decades. This paper targets to investigate the problem of LFC in interconnected power systems in order to obtain robust state. In this paper, a design method for a robust controller, based on PID, has been presented to overcome the robustness against uncertainties. To achieve optimal PID, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has been employed to obtain coefficients of the SMC. Variations of uncertain parameters are considered between -40% and +40% of nominal values. The simulation results show that the system response with the proposed PID is better than the conventional PID controller. It is also shown that the transient response of the tie line power can be improved.
