In this article, a new event-triggered $H_{\infty }$ load frequency control (LFC) approach with dynamic triggered algorithm (DTA) for multi-area nonlinear power systems (NPSs) based on non-fragile proportional integral control (NPI-control) strategy is addressed. Firstly, different from the existing linear single-area LFC model for power systems, an improved nonlinear multi-area model with the performance of large-scale adjustment frequency fluctuation is constructed by considering the phenomenon of overshoots and long-term oscillations. Due to the existence of control uncertainty, it is the first time that the NPI-control scheme is applied to LFC approach for NPSs. Then, the DTA is proposed to adjust the dynamic event-triggered parameters, which reduces the occupation of communication bandwidth and the data computation of NPSs. Furthermore, a modified quadratic form with time-varying matrix and two-side closed functional method are adopted to construct the relaxed Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, where some slack matrices are unnecessarily positive definite. Based on Lyapunov method, some less-conservatism stability criteria are derived. Utilizing the linear matrix inequality toolbox, the allowable upper bound of time-varying delays and the NPI-controller are obtained. Finally, a numerical example is presented to demonstrate the availability of the approach developed in this work.
