AB  - This study investigates the stability and optimum gain settings 
  of Load Frequency Control (LFC) for single area reheat thermal power system. 
  The new Particle Swarm Optimization technique (PSO) is used for optimizing Proportional 
  Integral Differential (PID) controller gain values. The proposed technique can 
  be used for the design of the proper PID controller for load frequency control 
  with the help of different objective functions. Furthermore, extension to the 
  uncertainties in the plant model parameters case is also included to illustrate 
  the effectiveness of the proposed controller in damping power system oscillations 
  that follow disturbances. The uncertainties in the plant model parameters case 
  are emulated by changing turbine time constant, generator time constant, reheater 
  time constant and speed regulator parameters by &plusmn;25%. Finally, the enhancement 
  in the dynamic response of the system is verified through simulation results 
  of a system under different operating points and exposed to both small and large 
  disturbances. Time domain analysis is used to demonstrate, the necessity of 
  the proposed controller in suppressing power system oscillations that follow 
  disturbances.
