Abstract
AbstractThis work discusses the load frequency control of a three-area interconnected power system regulated employing a PID controller whose gain parameters are tuned using one of the optimization algorithms instigated and inspired by smart foraging or searching deportment of honey bees. The three-area power system depicted is assembled in such a way that the area-1 consists of a non-reheated turbine, area-2 consists of a reheated turbine while the third area consists of a combination of both non-reheated and reheated turbine units as the power consumed is profoundly generated by thermal power plants across the world and they exist to a greater degree. All the existing areas are equipped with PID controllers, and the objective function taken into account is Integral Time Absolute Error (ITAE). To subdue all the fluctuations attributed to the perturbations in the system and reacquire the frequency to the nominal quantity swiftly is primary intent of this work. The performance of the controller is simulated in the MATLAB/ SIMULINK version. The results depicted the swift settling down of the frequency deviations with minimum steady state error.KeywordsLoad frequency control (LFC)Artificial bee colony (ABC)Area control error (ACE)PID controller
