PID controller adjustment using particle swarm optimization for multi-area load frequency control

الملخص EN

This study presents a control technique for the load frequency control (LFC) for a multi-area power system.

This paper presents particle swarm optimization (PSO) based on the study of multi area power network.

Fuzzy logic (FL) system and PSO have been used to get the PID controller gains.

Frequency protection relays will mal-function when the load demand changes leading to a lower speed of generator’s shaft.

Matlab/Simulink is used to model a three-area power system and study the PID controllers to control the frequency deviations one of these areas is a nuclear power plant.

The presented PSO technique is compared with traditional PID controller and FL system controller to show the accuracy of the presented PSO technique.

Also, the results indicated the ability of the presented PSO technique over FL system and traditional system.
