Abstract

Background/Objectives: Firefly Algorithm (FA) is employed to for Load Frequency Control (LFC) of nonlinear power system. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The supremacy of FA technique is established by comparing the outcomes with Genetic Algorithm (GA). Findings: Additionally, sensitivity study is conducted by changing system parameters like time constants of turbine, speed governor and inertia constant as well as generator initial loading condition by +50% to -50% from their normal values in addition to the magnitude and location of load disturbance to illustrate the effectiveness of the suggested design approach. Application/Improvements: A nonlinear three area thermal system is taken as the system under study and the parameters of the LFC controller are tuned using FA technique.
