Optimizing Load Frequency Control of Multi-Area Power Renewable and Thermal Systems Using Advanced Proportional–Integral–Derivative Controllers and Catch Fish Algorithm by Saleh A. Alnefaie, Abdulaziz Alkuhayli, Abdullah M. Al-Shaalan

“…Additionally, by contrasting the performance of the PID, PI, cascaded PI(PDN), and FOPID, PI(1+DD) controllers, the efficiency of the CFA is confirmed. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis that considers simultaneous modifications of the frequency bias coefficient (B) and speed regulation (R) within a range of ±25% validates the efficacy and dependability of the suggested CFA-tuned PI(1+DD). …”
