Abstract: Spider Monkey Optimization (SMO) tuned PID-PID dual loop controller is proposed for Load Frequency Control (LFC) for dual area power systems in this paper. Dual area based thermal (reheat type) system is employed and the gains of the PID-PID dual loop controller are tuned by SMO with 1% sudden load disturbance in control area 1. The dominance of the suggested PID-PID dual loop controller was compared with the previous journal outcomes like Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Optimization based PID controllers for the same power system. Further, sensitivity analysis is carried out by intensifying the loading of the system by 5% which demonstrates the ability of the proposed approach to manage frequency oscillations.
