In this paper, A new load frequency control (LFC) using the model predictive control MPC Technique is presented. The MPC technique has been designed such that the effect of the uncertainty due to governor and turbine parameters variation and load disturbance is reduced. A simplified frequency response model is introduced, and physical constraints of the governor and turbine are considered in this model. The model was employed in the MPC structure. Digital simulations for a single control area are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. The results show that, with the proposed MPC technique, the system performance has a good robustness in the face of uncertainties due to governor and turbine parameters variation and load disturbance. A performance comparison between the proposed controller and a conventional integral control scheme is carried out confirming the superiority of the proposed MPC technique.
