ABSTRACT
This chapter gives introduction to evolutionary techniques. Then it presents the problem formulation for
load frequency control with evolutionary particle swarm optimization. It gives the application of particle
swarm optimization (PSO) in load frequency control; also, it illustrates the use of an adaptive weight
particle swarm optimization (AWPSO) and adaptive accelerated coefcients based PSO (AACPSO).
Furthermore, it introduces a new modifcation for AACPSO technique (MAACPSO). The new technique
is explained. A well-done comparison will be given in this chapter for these above-mentioned techniques.
A reasonable discussion on the obtained results will be displayed. The obtained results are promising.
1. INTRODUCTION
Frequency is an important factor to describe the stability criterion in power systems (Ismail & Hassan,
2012; Salami et al., 2006). To provide the stability of power system, the balance of power and steady
frequency is required. In case of change occurs in active power demand or the generation in power sys-
tems, oscillations increase in both power and frequency. Frequency depends on active power balance
so it cannot be hold in its rated value (Azar, 2010, 2012a and 2012b). Thus, system suffering from a
