P. Venkatasubramanian, S. Abraham Lincon . Area Requirement based Load Frequency Controller using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for a Two Area Interconnected Power System with GT Unit. International Journal of Computer Applications. 69, 5 ( May 2013), 15-21. DOI=10.5120/11838-7564
This paper proposes a design of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm based Proportional plus Integral controller using Area Requirement (AR) Criterion for the Load Frequency Control of a two area multi unit interconnected thermal reheat power system without and with Gas Turbine unit. The system was simulated and the output responses of the frequency deviations, tie-line power deviation and control input deviations for 1% step load disturbance in area 1 were obtained. The simulations results reveals that the two area multi unit interconnected thermal reheat power system incorporated with Gas Turbine unit ensure a better transient response and smaller settling time.
