Abstract

In this article, load frequency control of an interconnected power system is achieved by two methods. The first is based on the classical h∞ control method and is subjected to linear matrix inequalities. The second uses a proportional-integral controller that is tuned by genetic algorithm optimization and is also subjected to the same linear matrix inequalities in order to obtain robustness against disturbances. Both controllers are tested on a two-area power system with three scenarios of load disturbances, as well as on power systems in a deregulated environment to demonstrate their robust performances.
