ABSTRACT This present paper includes the study Load Frequency Control (LFC) of power systems with several nonlinearities like Generation Rate Constraint(GRC) and Boiler Dynamics (BD) including Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) units using Type-2 Fuzzy System (T2FS) controllers . Here, Load frequency control problem is dealt with a three – area interconnected system of Thermal-Thermal-Hydal power system by observing the effects and variations of dynamic responses employing conventional controller, Type-1 fuzzy controller and T2FS controller considering incremental increase of step pertubations by 10% in the load. The salient advantage of this controller is its high insensitivity to large load changes and plant parameter variations even in the presence of non-linearities. As the non-linearities were considered in the system, the conventional and classical Fuzzy controllers does not provide adequate control performance with the consideration of above nonlinearities. To overcome this drawback T2FS Controller has been employed in the system. Therefore, the efficacy of the proposed T2FS controller is found to be better than that of conventional controller and Type-1 Fuzzy controller in cosidreration with overshoot, settling time and robustness.

1. INTRODUCTION Inorder to maintain system frequency and inter-area oscillations within limits, Load Frequency Control (LFC) plays a vital role in large scale electric power systems. Both area frequency and tie-line power interchange varies with variation in power load demand. The motives of load frequency control (LFC)[1][2] are to minimize the transient deviations in theses variables and to ensure their steady state errors to be zeros. When dealing with the LFC [3] problem of power systems, certain unexpected pertubations, parametric uncertainties and the model uncertainties of the power system leads for the designing of controller.
