Abstract: This paper presents an advanced cascaded control scheme for load frequency regulation in multi-area power systems incorporating renewable energy sources (RES) and electric vehicles (EVs). The proposed design (Model predictive control cascaded with one plus proportional-integral control cascaded with tilt control in parallel with one plus fractional-order integral derivative controller (MPC-((1+PI)-(T+(1+I λ D μ)))) combines predictive, tilt, and fractional-order dynamics to improve adaptability and robustness under uncertainties. Controller parameters are tuned using the Lyrebird Optimization Algorithm (LOA), ensuring fast convergence and effective global search. Simulation results under varying operational conditions, including nonlinearity effects such as Generation Rate Constraints (GRC), Governor Dead Band (GDB), and Communication Time Delays (CTD), confirm the controller's superiority. It achieves a 96.4 % ITAE reduction, 98.6 % undershoot mitigation, and a settling time of just 5.8 s outperforming existing benchmark strategies (GOA: PDf+(0.75+PI), CBOA: PI-PD, JSA: PI, and ARA: 1+PID). • A hybrid MPC–fractional order cascaded controller is developed for smart grid frequency regulation. • Lyrebird Optimization Algorithm is used to fine-tune controller gains for robustness and precision. • The proposed method outperforms GOA, CBOA, JSA, and ARA controllers in ITAE and dynamic response. • Robustness is validated under load changes, nonlinearities, and system uncertainties. • Stability is ensured through detailed analysis under high RES penetration.
