Abstract
Recently, to balance the increased electricity demands and total generated power, the multiarea power system (MAPS) has been introduced with multipower sources such as gas, nuclear, hydro, and thermal, which will impact the load frequency control (LFC). Therefore, the LFC of the two-area gas-hydro-thermal power system (TAGHTPS) is introduced by applying the single-phase sliding mode control-based state observer (SPSMCBSO). In this scheme, the TAGHTPS is the first model that considers the uncertainties of the parameters in the state and the interconnected matrix. Second, the state observer is employed to estimate the state variables for the feedback control. Third, the SPSMCBSO is developed to modify the basic sliding mode control to improve the performance of TAGHTPS in terms of overshoot and settling time. In addition, the SPSMCBSO is established to rely fully on the state observer so that the difficulty in the state variable measurement is solved. Fourth, the TAGHTPS stability analysis is performed using a new linear matrix inequality (LMI) scheme—Lyapunov stability theory. Lastly, the simulation results are shown and compared to recently established classical control methods to validate the SPSMCBSO choice of application for the LFC of the multiarea multisource power system (MAMSPS).
