The two areas considered in the present study are identi- Received in revised form 17 September cal. Each area is having thermal, hydro and gas based power plants. Split-shaft model of gas turbine is 2015 used in the present work as one of the diversified generating unit for the purpose of LFC study. Accepted 19 September 2015 Optimal gains of the classical controllers (like integral controller, proportional–integral controller and pro portional–integral–derivative (PID) controller, one installed at a time in the studied models) are obtained by using a novel music-inspired metaheuristic harmony search algorithm (HSA) which incorporates Keywords: AC–DC tie lines quasi opposition based learning technique for memory initialization and also for gener
