This study investigates load frequency control based generalized extended state observer (GESO) for interconnected power systems subject to multi-kind of the power plant. First, the mathematical model of the interconnected power system is proposed based on the dynamic model of thermal power plant with reheat turbine and hydropower plant. Second, the GESO is designed to estimate the system states and disturbances. In addition, the problem of unmeasurable system states in the interconnected power network due to lack of sensor has been solved by using the proposed load frequency control based GESO. The numerical experiments are carried out by using MATLAB/ SIMULINK simulation. The simulation results point out that the proposed control approach has the capacity to handle the uncertainties and disturbances in the interconnected power system with better transient performances in comparison with the existing control approach. The relevant dynamic models have already been used for the simulation of the physical constraints of the governor dead band (GDB) and generation rate constraint (GRC) effect in the power plants. It is evident that the robustness of the suggested controller in terms of stability and effectiveness of the system. This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium provided the original work is properly cited.
