Abstract: An Extended State Observer (ESO) based design approach has been presented for a Load Frequency Control (LFC) loop of a single area. The design approach utilizes the full state feedback as well as an estimated signal for parameter uncertainty and disturbances due to load demand changes to form the control law. The ESO-based design approach is capable of estimating state as well as disturbances together in order to compensate system in presence of parameter uncertainty and disturbances due to load demand changes. The proposed design methodology achieves performance satisfying the specified stability margins. The methodology provides a control over peak values of the frequency and control signal deviations which may be utilized to meet hardware constraints. An illustrative example illustrates the effectiveness of the developed methodology.
