Abstract

The objective of the work is to design a load frequency controller for a two area Thermal-Thermal power system interconnected with a hybrid distributed generation system in area-1. A novel nature inspired meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, called Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) is used for obtaining the gain values of Proportional-Integral- Derivative (PID) controller. The dynamic system performance has been studied and the results obtained are compared with other techniques like Particle swarm optimization (PSO), Harmony search (HS), Flower pollination algorithm (FPA). The results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed algorithm in terms of settling time in the profile of frequency deviations. The simulation process is carried out in MATLAB R2010a environment.

Keywords
