Abstract
Frequency stability is the fundamental problem of keeping the PS's frequency within a reasonable range. The PS's stability would be threatened by frequency variation brought on by load disruptions and uncertainty pertaining to PS characteristics. The PS's LFC system is crucial for controlling and maintaining frequency stability. This work uses the adaptive Fuzzy-FOPID (FFOPID) controller in the LFC structure to address uncertainties and disturbances while improving frequency stability in a two-area PS (TAPS). Additionally, RL has been used to enhance the adaptive FFOPID controller's performance. The adaptive FFOPID controller's performance against the uncertainties and disruptions of the TAPS has been enhanced by RL, which has also increased the control system's environmental adaptability. In a number of scenarios, the suggested control (FFOPID-RL) method has been compared to FFOPID, PDSMC, and SMC control methods. The findings indicate that the control method is better at lowering frequency deviations, settling times, and damping frequency oscillations associated with the TAPS
