Adaptive Model Predictive Control for Frequency Control for Two Area Interconnected Power System

Abstract

Reliability in of importance in load frequency control (LFC) in modern power generation, In LFC scheme, local load disturbance, inter-area ties power fluctuation, frequency deviation, and generation rate constraints (GRC), are the major nonlinear factors on the control scheme that affect the dynamic response of the system. In this paper, two-area hydro-thermal interconnected power system (IPS) is used to develop an adaptive model predictive control (AMPC) as a controller scheme for LFC scheme and compared with both robust distributed model predictive control (RDMPC) and proportional integral derivative (PID) controller, using MATLAB/Simulink, result shows that AMPC shows robustness over RDMPC and PID when compared in frequency deviation, area control error (ACE) and tie-line active power deviations.
