Abstract

Dynamic load variations significantly impact the stability of system frequency, necessitating the implementation of Load Frequency Control (LFC) to maintain frequency stability. In this study, a PID-based control approach is applied to LFC modeling using the Ziegler-Nichols tuning method through the Reaction Curve Method. The test was conducted using the difference of load of 1 p.u. Using these parameters, the optimal PID controller was configured with Kp = 2.97, Ki = 0.78, and Kd = 2.27. The evaluation demonstrated that the system achieved a settling time of 17 seconds and a maximum overshoot of 65.35 Hz. Under various load scenarios, including increasing, decreasing, and fluctuating loads, the LFC system equipped with a PID controller based on the Ziegler-Nichols Reaction Curve Method effectively maintained frequency stability despite significant load changes. These findings confirm that the proposed approach is reliable in preserving system performance under dynamic load conditions.
