Abstract: In this paper, the Multi-objective optimization of Load Frequency Control (LFC) problem of a Two-area interconnected Power system is discussed. The proposed power system consists of two Thermal Generating units. The Multi-objective Differential Evolution (MODE) algorithm is applied to the LFC problem to obtain the control parameters for the optimum performance of the system. Maintaining the Frequency and the Tie-line power in the standard values is the main objective for solving the LFC problem. This problem is solved using the Differential Evolution algorithm where the results obtained are better when compared with the actual Integral and Proportional Integral controller performance in the proposed power system.
