A new control structure with a tuning method to design a PID load frequency controller for power
systems is presented. Initially, the controller is designed for single area power system, then it is
extended to multi-area case. The controller parameters are obtained by expanding controller transfer
function using Laurent series. Relay based identication technique is adopted to estimate power system
dynamics. Robustness studies on stability and performance are provided, with respect to uncertainties
in the plant parameters. The proposed scheme ensures that overall system remains asymptotically
stable for all bounded uncertainties and for system oscillations. Simulation results show the feasibility
of the approach and the proposed method improves the load disturbance rejection performance
signicantly even in the presence of the uncertainties in plant parameters.

1. Introduction
The active power and frequency control is referred to as load
frequency control (LFC) which has been used as an effective
ancillary service in power systems for many years [1]. Several
papers have been published to address the LFC [24]. For large
scale power systems with interconnected areas, LFC is important
to keep the system frequency and the inter-area tie-line power as
near to the scheduled values as possible. In addition, the LFC has
to be robust against unknown external disturbances and system
model and parameter uncertainties. Many control strategies for
load frequency control in power systems had been proposed by
researchers over the past decades [521]. This extensive research
is due to fact that LFC constitutes an important function of power
system operation where the main objective is to regulate the
output power of each generator at prescribed levels while keeping
the frequency uctuations within predetermined limits. Most of
the reported works of the LFC problem have been tested for their
robustness against large step load change. However, very few of
the published researches deal with parameter uncertainties. In
this paper, a design method for the LFC PID is proposed, which is
able to consider uncertainties in power systems. Even though

this indicates the system output can reach the setpoint value just
after the process time delay. It is to be noted that the block V
primarily helps in improving the overall servo performance of the
closed-loop system. It is popularly known that for LFC design, the
load disturbance rejection is more important than the setpoint
response [15]. Therefore, the controller Gc has been designed
mainly for power system load disturbances.
Let the half period of the limit cycle output be t. Then the expression
for the limit cycle output for ym r t r t is

where Gg, Gt and Gp are the dynamics of the governor, turbine and
load&machine, respectively. The governor dynamics Gg 1=T G s 1
and the Load and machine dynamics, Gp K p =T p s 1. Non-reheat
turbines are rst-order units. The dynamics of the non-reheat turbine
is represented as Gt 1=T T s 1. Reheat turbines are modeled as
second-order units, since they have different stages due to high and
low steam pressure. The transfer function of the reheat turbine is in
the form of Gt cT r s 1=T r s 1T T s 1 where Tr stands for the
low pressure reheat time and c is the portion of the power generated
by the reheat turbine in the total generated power.

parameters (KP, TP, TT and TG) variation of 30% and 20% are
considered simultaneously for NRTWD and NRTD, respectively.

The LFC characteristics of a single-area power system with nonreheat and reheat turbines have been studied. A relay feedback test
has been conducted to estimate the parameters of the power
system. The robustness of the LFC is tested using Kharitonovs
theorem. The results show that the proposed PID controller with a
