The authors consider the application of a method based on control law reduction using Davison's model order reduction technique for multi-area load-frequency control systems. A decentralized suboptimal controller is obtained for a two-area power system. The results show that the method based on control law is computationally simpler and the performance of the controller obtained by this method compares well with those obtained by other available methods of design.
