FOSSMC for AGC of Multi-Area Power System in Open Market Environment

Abstract

This paper presents a Fractional Order based Second Order Sliding Mode Controller (FOSSMC) for Load Frequency Control (LFC) of Deregulated Multi Area Power System (DMAPS). In this paper a new control strategy have been proposed to improve dynamic response of multi area power system under one possible contract scenario by considering bilateral contracts. This proposed new FOSSMC strategy capable of dealing with frequency deviations for sudden change of load on DISCOs. The advantage of FOSSMC in terms of exhibiting dynamic response compared to group of factional order controllers such as Fractional Order PI(FOPI), Fractional Order Fuzzy Controller(FOFLC) and Fractional Order Sliding Mode Controller(FOSMC) and conventional PI controller.
