Abstract

Load Frequency Control (LFC) used to regulate the power output of the electric generator within an area as the response of changes in system frequency and tie-line loading. Thus the LFC helps in maintaining the scheduled system frequency and tie-line power interchange with the other areas within the prescribed limits. Most LFCs are primarily composed of an integral controller. The integrator gain is set to a level that compromises between fast transient recovery and low overshoot in the dynamic response of the overall system. The disadvantage of this type of controllers that there are slow and does not allow the controller designer to take into account possible changes in operating conditions and non- linearities in the generator unit. Moreover, it lacks robustness. So there are many modern techniques used to tune the controller. This chapter discusses the application of evolutionary techniques in Load Frequency Control (LFC) in power systems. It gives introduction to evolutionary techniques. Then it presents the problem formulation for load frequency control with Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization (MAACPSO). It gives the application of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in load frequency control, also it illustrates the use of a Adaptive Weight Particle Swarm Optimization (AWPSO), Adaptive Accelerated Coefficients based PSO, (AACPSO) Adaptive Accelerated Coefficients based PSO (AACPSO). Furthermore, it introduces a new modification for AACPSO technique (MAACPSO). The new technique will be explained inside the chapter, it is abbreviated to Modified Adaptive Accelerated Coefficients based PSO (MAACPSO). A well done comparison will be given in this chapter for these above mentioned techniques. A reasonable discussion on the obtained results will be displayed. The obtained results are promising.
