Load Frequency Control for Multi Area Smart Grid based on Advanced Control Techniques

Abstract

One of the main interested subjects in electric power systems is the integration of electric vehicles to the existing power network as well as the influence of this integration with the other types of renewable sources connected to the multi area power system networks.Load Frequency Control (LFC) are used to regulate and control the output frequency signal of the electric generated power within an area in response to changes in system loads and power in tie line changed with other area.This paper presents a new design of various types of load frequency PI controllers based on different types of Artificial Intelligent (AI) optimization techniques such as Fuzzy logic, FOPID tuned by fuzzy and Model Predictive Control (MPC) for a four area power system. The performance of the controller under study shows an enhancement in the frequency deviation signal as well as the peak overshoot and Settling time for the frequency output signal.The performance of the proposed scheme is validated using MATLAB/SIMULINK tools.
