The imbalance between generated power and load demand often causes unwanted fluctuations in the frequency and tie-line power changes within a power system. To address this issue, a control process known as load frequency control (LFC) is essential. This study aims to optimize the parameters of the LFC controller for a two-area power system that includes a reheat thermal generator and a photovoltaic (PV) power plant.

Due to their fast dynamics and non-linear nature, controlling them requires dealing with various complexities. Therefore, having a well-designed, high-speed, and robust controller is critical to ensure the effective operation of these devices.

Traditional PID controllers often fall short in handling the complex dynamics of DC motors, leading to suboptimal performance. Our proposed controller integrates fractional-order proportional-derivative (FOPD) and proportional-integral (PI) control actions, optimized via POA to achieve superior control performance.
