Abstract: In this study, the authors demonstrate the development and evaluation of an optimal frequency control controller for an interlinked two-area power system that incorporates Renewable Energy Sources (RESs). In decentralized power grids, the Load Frequency Control (LFC) system allows scheduled tie-line power as well as system frequency to be reimposed to their nominal values. Designing an advanced controller might enhance the functionality of the LFC mechanism. This article illustrates the possible impacts of converter capacitors using the new High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) tie-line model as well as the Inertia Emulation Technique (IET). This paper suggests a new adaptive control procedure for the expected LFC mechanism: an ANN-based (PIλ + PIλf) controller. The authors evaluate which control parameters are most effective using a modified version of the Quasi-Opposition-learning-based Reptile Search Algorithm (QORSA) method. Software called MATLAB/Simulink-2015 is used to create this arrangement. The use of established techniques for handling step as well as random load disturbances has enabled an evaluation of the suggested LFC architecture’s efficacy. An IET-based HVDC tie-line reduces overshoot by 100% in Areas 1 and 2 (Area 1 frequency deviation, i.e., ∆f1, as well as Area 2 frequency deviation, i.e., ∆f2). When considering SLD, the suggested controller outperforms the most widely used alternative settings. The IEEE-39 bus system has been changed by the addition of RESs. The IEEE-39 bus system is composed of three control areas. It is confirmed how the IEEE-39 bus system reacts to changes in frequency in Areas 1, 2, and 3. It is illustrated how to use the suggested controller in the modified IEEE-39 bus system, accompanied by real-time load variations. Recent research indicates that the suggested control method is better and more efficient due to its 100% decrease in overshoot in Areas 1 and 2 and quick response time.
