Abstract

This chapter presents the application of structured singular value theory (μ) for robust decentralized load frequency control design. System uncertainties and practical constraints are properly considered during a synthesis procedure. The robust performance is formulated in terms of the structured singular value for measuring of control performance within a systematic approach. In this chapter, a decentralized robust model predictive control (MPC)‐based frequency control design is introduced. The MPC controller uses a feed‐forward control strategy to reject the impact of load change. The proposed controller is applied to a three control area power system and the obtained results are compared with the application of ILMI‐based robust PI controller.
