Abstract

In power system studies, Load frequency control is an important issue to supply sufficient and reliable electric power with good quality. The main objective of LFC is to maintain load frequency and tie-line power flow within permissible limits by adjusting megawatt output of LFC generators, so as to accommodate fluctuating load demands. This paper presents a brief review of different control techniques to researchers on design of LFC controllers in deregulated environment. The overview of different control strategies are explained in brief, such as Classical and Modern feedback controllers, Adaptive, Intelligent and Robust control strategies along with their relative advantages and disadvantages. Finally, incorporating Facts devices and Energy storage devices in the investigation of LFC problem have also been discussed.
