Abstract

In this paper, two-area interconnected power system is considered to study load frequency control problem. The state model of the two area is developed, and an optimal controller linear quadratic regulator (LQR) is designed to reduce the load frequency control (LFC) problem. A conventional PID controller is also used to study the dynamic performance of the system. The PID controller is further optimized using genetic algorithm (GA) for better performance of the system.
