New Techniques for Tuning of PID Load Frequency Comtroller of Interconnected Electric Power System

Abstract

This paper investigates new techniques for tuning of PID Load Frequency Control of multi area electric power system having different turbines. The gain values of controller are optimized using different Metaheuristic Algorithms. The robustness and validity of designed controllers were checked on multi area interconnected power system with various Step Load variations.
Finally, the performance of proposed controllers was compared with conventional controller and from the result it has been proved that the proposed controller exhibits superior performance than conventional controller for various Step load and uniformly distributed random loads.
