This article presents a novel hybrid fractional-order intelligent proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller integrated with a fractional-order fuzzy PID controller for load frequency control of a realistic interconnected two-area power system, where each area is powered from a different source. The strategy presented here involves incorporating a damping controller based on a thyristor-controlled series capacitor in the system. In doing so, the parameters of the current controller are optimized via craziness-based particle swarm optimization. The effectiveness of the strategy presented here in load frequency control is validated by extensive simulation examples. The results are compared with a recently published technique based on a fractional-order PID controller. Finally, the sensitivity analysis of the plant is studied by varying the plant parameters and operating load conditions from their prescribed values. It is observed that the current controller is a robust controller and performs satisfactorily with variations in system parameters and load patterns.
