Abstract
Load frequency control (LFC) in interconnected power
systems is undergoing numerous changes due to rapidly grow-
ing amount of wind turbines,solar PV and other new type
of power generation/consumption technologies. In this pa-
per an extensive literature review on loadfrequency control
(LFC) problem in distributed generation based power sys-
tem has been highlighted. The various control techniques/
strategies that concerns to LFC issues have been addressed
in distribution generation-based power systems.
Key Words:Artificial Intelligence techniques, Distributed
Generation, Load Frequency control, ,Sliding mode con-
troller.

1 Introduction
Load frequency control, as the name signifies, regulates the power
flow between different areas while holding the frequency constant.
We can therefore state that the load frequency control (LFC) has
the following two objectives:
• Hold the frequency constant ( f = 0) against any load change.
Each area must contribute to absorb any load change such that
frequency does not deviate.
• Each area must maintain the tie-line power flow to its pre-
specified value. The first step in the LFC is to form the area control
error (ACE) that is defined as (1)
Where Ptie and Psch are tie-line power and scheduled power
through tie-line respectively and the constant Bf is called the fre-
quency bias constant .
The change in the reference of the power setting Pref, i , of
the area i is then obtained by the feedback of the ACE through an
integral controller of the form
where Ki is the integral gain. The ACE is negative if the net
power flow out of an area is low or if the frequency has dropped
or both. In this case the generation must be increased. This can
be achieved by increasing Pref, i . This negative sign accounts for
this inverse relation between Pref, i and ACE. The tie-line power
flow and frequency of each area are monitored in its control center.
Once the ACE is computed and Pref, i is obtained from equation 1,
commands are given to various turbine-generator controls to adjust
their reference power settings.
In general, Distributed Generation can be defined as electric
power generation within distribution networks or on the customer
side of the network[1]. The electricity generation technology and
grid connection of DG technologies can be significantly different
from traditional centralized power generation technologies. Large
power units use synchronous generators. These are capable of
controlling the reactive power output, for example. Large DG
units, utilizing natural gas for instance, use synchronous genera-
tors, too. Medium-sized and especially small DG technologies of-
ten use asynchronous generators (also known as induction genera-
tors), as they are significantly cheaper than synchronous generators.
Asynchronous generators, however, have different operational char-

12 Conclusion
The various existing techniques and strategies of Load Frequency
Control for Distributed Generation systems are discussed. A de-
tailed survey has been done and the various Load Frequency Con-
trol techniques adopted are explored. It is observed in this litera-
ture survey that there exists a lot of research opportunities in Dis-
tributed Generation systems on issues related to Load Frequency
Control.
