Development of Distributed LFC Controllers Using Adaptive Wieghted PSO Algorithm

Abstract

This paper focuses on the application of PI/PID
controller tuned with Adaptive Weighted Particle Swarm
Optimization (AWPSO) algorithm on the load frequency control
of power systems. This effect will be studied for two areas power
systems with multiple thermal energy resources and a stand alone
gas turbine system. A load deviation of different values is assumed
in both areas. The retain of the working frequency within a
reasonable short time is the main function of the well tuned PI/PID
controller. A Matlab/Simuling model with practical system
parameters has been designed in order to show the outcomes of
this research work. The results show the ability of the proposed
technique to keep the frequency in its permissible range even with
the presence of load changes in both areas
