Abstract

ABSTRACT:
This paper describes the application of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique to
optimize a PID controller parameters for Load Frequency Control (LFC). The robustness of the
proposed controller is investigated through parameters variations and changing the magnitude of
load disturbance. The simulation results show that the applied PSO-based PID controller is
achieved good performance even in the presence of the generation rate constraint (GRC). A
comparative study results is made between the H∞ controller and the proposed one. The
performance is shown to be better for the new PID controller
