PSO Based Nonlinear Predictive Control of Single Area Load Frequency Control

A new Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm is proposed which is based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The proposed method formulates the MPC as an optimization problem and PSO is used to find the solution to that optimization problem. The method is applied to the Load Frequency Control (LFC) of a single area power system to illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithm in the presence of system parameter variations as well as nonlinearities. It is seen that the variations in load frequency are handled very well and the frequency is returned to its nominal value very quickly.
