Abstract: Load frequency control problem is considered as one of the most important issues in the design & operation of power systems. Due to lack of good efficiency in parameters variation conditions, working conditions of system and non-linear factors, a simple PI controller is not suitable in industrial applications. Instead, fuzzy controllers can be used in order to enhance the performances of the systems. In this paper, the use of the optimized type-1 fuzzy logic controller using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed to solve the load frequency control problem. To the best of our knowledge, the PSO optimization of fuzzy type-1 controller in order to solve load-frequency control problem, has not been investigated so far. The proposed controller has good performance and is capable to solve the load-frequency control problem in conditions of wide variations of system parameters and nonlinear factors such as generation rate constraint. Simulation results show that the optimized fuzzy controller proposed in this paper exhibits better performance compared to PI controller in damping of system deviations.

Key words: power system, load frequency control, type-1 fuzzy logic controller, PSO algorithm.
