Load frequency regulation (LFC) is an
essential part of a power system's operation in order to
maintain the balance between generation and load
demand. This article proposes two unique models for a
single area and two area power system that uses a
Genetic Algorithm (GA) and a Proportional-integralderivative (PID) controller. A comparison between the
proposed GA-PID controller and the conventional PID
controller is made. The simulation results show that the
GA-PID controller significantly improves LFC
performance by reducing overshoots and settling time
while maintaining frequency variation within acceptable
boundaries. The recommended approach is further
tested under various operational conditions and
disturbances, demonstrating its robustness and
effectiveness in maximizing LFC. The results
demonstrate that the GA-PID controller outperforms the
conventional PID controller and can maintain the
stability and reliability of the power system. Overall, the
proposed GA-PID controller provides a useful and
efficient way to optimize the LFC of a power system. The
findings of this study can be used to develop LFC
strategies that are more advanced and improve the
power system's stability and reliability
