This study aims to examine the use of Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) and Model Predictive Control (MPC) in Load Frequency Control (LFC). A balance between the generation and the load is necessary to ensure the consistency of the electrical supply. These days, MPC techniques are becoming popular due to their merits over conventional PID controllers. In this study, performance of the designed PID and MPC schemes has been tested and compared for two area interconnected power system. This system consists hydro unit in area-1 and three Thermal units in area-2. A step load perturbation scenario in both areas has been obtained to evaluate the effectiveness of the designed control strategies. The results show that both the designed control approaches performed successfully however, the MPC scheme outperform the PID scheme in terms of time domain specifications like reduced oscillation and smaller settling time. It can be concluded that MPC can be used as a secondary controller for LFC applications in future research.
