Fuzzy Based Intelligent Frequency Control Strategy in Standalone Hybrid AC MicroGrid

Due to environmental concerns, there is lot of emphasis on the use of renewable energy sources as distribution generation sources for electric power generation. These distributed sources have resulted in the concept of AC/DC micro-grids. But the intermittent nature of these sources cause many control problems and thereby affect the quality of the power within a micro-grid operating in a standalone or grid connected mode. In this paper an AC micro-grid operating in standalone mode and consisting of wind turbine generators (WTGs), solar photovoltaic (PV), diesel engine generators (DEGs), fuel cells (FCs) and battery energy storage system (BESS) has been considered for simulation studies. An intelligent control technique based on fuzzy gain scheduling of the conventional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is proposed for frequency regulation for sudden changes in load or generation power or both. The performance of the fuzzy gain scheduled PID (FGSPID) controller is compared with that of the conventional PID controller for comparative analysis. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the FGSPID controller in terms of less oscillations and reduced settling time and overshoot.

Optimal Fuzzy PIDF Load Frequency Controller for Hybrid Microgrid System Using Marine Predator Algorithm

IEEE Access, 2021

This paper presents a fully optimized fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative with filter (FPIDF) load frequency controller (LFC) for enhancing the performance of a hybrid microgrid system. The Marine Predator Algorithm (MPA), a recent optimization algorithm, is used to optimize the gains as well as the input scaling factors and membership functions of the proposed fuzzy PIDF controller. The controller performance is tested on a two-area hybrid microgrid system containing various renewable energy sources and energy storage devices. The effectiveness of the MPA based FPIDF controller is compared with conventional PIDF and FPIDF controllers based on other heuristic techniques presented in literatures. Moreover, different scenarios are implemented in this study to verify the robustness and sensitivity of the proposed controller to different step load perturbations, system parameters variations, wind speed fluctuation and solar irradiance variation. The dynamic response of the system is compared using different controllers in terms of settling time, maximum overshoot and undershoot values. The results are presented in the form of time domain simulations conducted via MATLAB/SIMULINK.

DEVELOPMENT OF A LOAD FREQUENCY CONTROL SCHEME FOR AN AUTONOMOUS HYBRID MICROGRID

Zaria Journal of Electrical Engineering Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria – Nigeria., 2022

The research is aimed at developing a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) based load frequency control scheme for an autonomous hybrid microgrid using a Moth-Flame Optimization Algorithm (MFOA). This scheme is developed to ensure steady frequency at nominal value by maintaining continuous balance between the power generation and demand. The microgrid system considered in this work comprises of renewable and nonrenewable energy-based Power Generating Units and Energy storage units (PGU) and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). These PGU and ESU are selected and combined into different microgrid architecture to actualize different scenarios for the purpose of this study. For each scenario, MFOA optimized Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers were utilized to coordinate the microgrid operations by balancing the power generation-load demand profiles (minimizing fluctuations from the output power of the non-dispatchable sources and from sudden load change). The performance of the developed scheme was evaluated with the previous scheme based on Quasi-Oppositional Harmony Search Algorithm by comparing the responses in terms of settling time, overshoot and undershoot of the frequency deviation. From the simulations, the superiority of the developed MFOA optimized control scheme was evident with clear average percentage improvement of 38.92% on overshoot, 57.93% on undershoot and a faster settling time improvement of 33.17% for the step input scenarios when compared to the QOHSA optimized frequency controller using the same test scenario 1 parameters for the step input system perturbations. All modelling analysis was carried out in MATLAB R2019a modelling environment.

Frequency control of isolated wind and diesel hybrid MicroGrid power system by using fuzzy logic controllers and PID controllers

11th International Conference on Electrical Power Quality and Utilisation, 2011

This paper presents a new application of fuzzy logic (FL) to 1 an isolated network with a High Penetration, no-storage wind-diesel (HPNSWD) system. As a result of a study referring the behavior of an isolated electric system facing frequency disturbances, a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) was developed to improve the system´s dynamic performance. The validity of the proposed controller is evaluated by computer analysis using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The simulation results demonstrated that a small-scale wind turbine generation unit can be freely operated in an isolated distribution network without creating violation in power balance and voltage profile. The effectiveness of the fuzzy logic controller is then compared with that of a proportionalintegral-and differential (PID) controller.

Enhancement of Voltage/Frequency Stability in an Autonomous Micro Energy Grid with Penetration of Wind Energy Using a Parallel Fuzzy Mechanism

iranian journal of electrical and electronic engineering, 2020

The main objective of this paper is to model and optimize the parallel and relatively complex FuzzyP+FuzzyI+FuzzyD (FP+FI+FD) controller for simultaneous control of the voltage and frequency of a micro-grid in the islanded mode. The FP+FI+FD controller has three parallel branches, each of which has a specific task. Finally, as its name suggests, the final output of the controller is derived from the algebraic summation of the outputs of these three branches. Combining the basic features of a simple PID controller with fuzzy logic that leads to an adaptive control mechanism, is an inherent characteristic of the FP+FI+FD controller. This paper attempts to determine the optimal control gains and Fuzzy membership functions of the FP+FI+FD controller using an improved Salp swarm algorithm (ISSA) to achieve its optimal dynamic response. The time-domain simulations are carried out in order to prove the superb dynamic response of the proposed FP+FI+FD controller compared to the PID control ...

Modified Frequency Regulator Based on TIλ-TDμFF Controller for Interconnected Microgrids with Incorporating Hybrid Renewable Energy Sources

Mathematics

Reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases has directed energy sectors toward using renewable energy sources (RESs) and decreasing the dependency on conventional energy sources. Recently, developing efficient load frequency control (LFC) schemes has become essential to face the reduced inertia due to RESs installations. This paper presents a modified tilt fractional order (FO) integral–tilt FO derivative with a fractional filter (TFOI-TFODFF or namely TIλ-TDμFF) LFC method. Although the proposed controller uses the same elements of standard controllers, it adopts FO control capabilities and flexibilities, including the tilt, FO integral, FO derivative, and FO filter. Thence, a new control structure is obtained, merging the advantages of both controllers. Moreover, the proposed TFOI-TFODFF controller employs two control loops to be able to mitigate low-frequency as well as high-frequency disturbances in power grids. Additionally, a new modified marine predator algorithm (MMPA) is pro...

Optimal Tuning of Fuzzy-PIDN Controller for Autonomous Microgrid Incorporating Various Renewable Energy Sources and Multiple Energy Storage Systems

In this paper, a new efficient Fuzzy-PID controller with Derivative Filter (Fuzzy-PIDN) optimized via Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) was proposed for Load Frequency Control (LFC) of an interconnected microgrid. The GOA was employed to fine tune the scaling factors of fuzzy logic and PIDN controllers gains by generating their optimal settings. The investigated microgrid system includes two interconnected areas incorporating Diesel engine, Wind turbine, Solar Photovoltaic (PV), and Energy storage systems including Redox Flow Batteries (RFBs), Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES), Fuel Cells (FCs) and Aqua Electrolyzers (AEs). The frequency control of the addressed autonomous microgrid was studied using a dynamic modeling of each unit. The power demand variation was considered as disturbance, where, the conventional controllers PID, Fuzzy-PID and Fuzzy-PIDN were implemented for comparative analysis of the LFC performance. The superiority of the proposed GOA strategy was demonstrated under various scenarios using four performance criteria functions, which are : Integral Square Error (ISE), Integral Absolute Error (IAE), Integral Time multiply Absolute Error (ITAE) and Integral Time multiply Square Error (ITSE). The behavior of the microgrid was analyzed in several case studies, and some control actions were suggested to improve the frequency control in presence of renewable energy. The obtained results were compared in view of peak undershoot / overshoot and settling time. The performed simulations prove the validity of the used GOA optimization tool, and shows that GOA optimized Fuzzy-PIDN controller was robust and can cope with system disturbance to solve frequency regulation problem.

Frequency control of PV-connected micro grid system using fuzzy logic controller

Frequency is a variable parameter in a power system, and it denotes the balance among the generation and the requirement. The operator of the system has to maintain the frequency within certain acceptable limits. The tediousness of integrating Distributed Generators (DGs), like solar photovoltaic (PV) system or wind turbines is the intermittency in power system that balances the power and regulates the frequency and voltage. If a number of electric motors are connected along with PV, the frequency of rotor speed will be varied. Hence, this paper intends to propose a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) for controlling the frequency of rotor speed to enhance the power system performance. Hence, the major objective of the proposed model is to provide control over the output signal by reducing the error between the reference signal and control signal. The performance evaluation of the proposed model is done and proved over other controllers with respect to switching time, and the performance metrics, namely settling time, rise time, and percentage overshoot.

Control of hybrid power system based renewable energy generations using PID controller

This paper addresses to integrate an optimal proportional-integrator-derivative controller for frequency regulation in an isolated microgrid power system based renewable generation. This autonomous microgrid system is composed of distributed energy sources like wind, solar, diesel engine generator, fuel cells system, and two different storage devices such as battery energy storage system and flywheel energy storage system. Optimal tuning of the investigated controller is considered as the main problem to be resolved using the Krill Herd algorithm through an objective function. The obtained results are also accomplished with and without the battery energy storage system. The comparison of system performance shows that the proposed control scheme based Krill Herd algorithm is better than the genetic algorithm in the improvement of system performance. 1. INTRODUCTION Electricity plays an important role in all sides of human life. Therefore the increase of the world energy demand, due to the population growth, modern industrial society and the environment pollution, is moved the world towards renewable energy sources as the solution of these issues related to the energy demand, high fuel cost, and greenhouse problems, to enhance power quality issues and energy efficacy[1]. Out of all renewable energy units, wind and solar systems are considered as secured and reliable sources and being installed widely. These generation units have obtained popularity because of the environment-friendly characteristics and they are inexhaustible energy sources as well as fast development in the technologies [2]. The use of these sources recently attended a salient increase according to the countries' development and environmental pollutions. The generation powers from this renewable generation are intermittent that causes some mismatches between produced power and demanded one. This affects the microgrid operation and causes instability in the frequency and power of the hybrid energy system [3]. To tackle this problem, some storages energy systems like BESS and FESS along with conventional sources like Diesel Engine and Fuel Cell systems are integrated into the concept of the hybrid energy system that is considered as the microgrid. Many types of research interest in the modeling and control of these kinds of
