A Tabu Search Approach for the Design of Variable Structure Load Frequency Controller Incorporating Model Nonlinearities

摘要: This paper presents a new method of designing Variable Structure Controllers (VSC) applied to the Load Frequency Control (LFC) problem. The proposed formulates design VSC as an optimization problem and utilizes Tabu Search Algorithm (TS) find optimal settings controller. objective function used in process guarantees enhancement controller performance reduces chattering. designed is LFC model that incorporates nonlinearity Generation Rate Constraint (GRC). Furthermore, complexity reduced by using only accessible states VSC. Comparison with other methods reported literature validates significance design.
