Abstract: Frequency, voltage, and power flow between different control zones in an interconnected power system are used to determine the standard quality of power. Therefore, the voltage and frequency control in an IPS is of vital importance to maintaining real and reactive power balance under varying load conditions. In this paper, a dandelion optimizer (DO)-based proportional-integral-proportional-derivative (PI-PD) controller is investigated for a realistic multi-area, multi-source, realistic IPS with nonlinearities. The output responses of the DO-based PI-PD were compared with the hybrid approach using artificial electric field-based fuzzy PID algorithm (HAEFA), Archimedes optimization algorithm (AOA)-based PI-PD, learning performance-based behavior optimization (LPBO)-based PI-PD and modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO)-based PI-PD control schemes in a two-area network with 10% step load perturbation (SLP). The proposed strategy was also investigated in a two- and three-area IPS in the presence of different nonlinearities and SLPs. The simulation results and the comprehensive comparison between the different control schemes clearly confirm that the proposed DO-based PI-PD is very effective for realistic, multi-area multi-source IPS with nonlinearities.
