This article proposes an intelligent control strategy to enhance the frequency dynamic performance of interconnected multi-source power systems composing of thermal, hydro, and gas power plants and the high penetration level of wind energy. The proposed control strategy is based on a combination of fuzzy logic control with a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller to overcome the PID limitations during abnormal conditions. Moreover, a newly adopted optimization technique namely Arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA) is proposed to fine-tune the proposed fuzzy-PID controller to overcome the disadvantages of conventional and heuristic optimization techniques (i.e., long time in estimating controller parameters-slow convergence curves). Furthermore, the effect of the high voltage direct current link is taken into account in the studied interconnected power system to eliminate the AC transmission disadvantages (i.e., frequent tripping during oscillations in large power systems–high level of fault current). The dynamic performance analysis confirms the superiority of the proposed fuzzy-PID controller based on the AOA compared to the fuzzy-PID controller based on a hybrid local unimodal sampling and teaching learning-based optimization (TLBO) in terms of minimum objective function value and overshoots and undershoots oscillation measurement. Also, the AOA’s proficiency has been verified over several other powerful optimization techniques; differential evolution, TLBO using the PID controller. Moreover, the simulation results ensure the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed fuzzy-PID controller using the AOA in achieving better performance under several contingencies; different load variations, the high penetration level of the wind power, and system uncertainties compared to other literature controllers adjusting by various optimization techniques.

AbstractThe main purpose of this paper is allowing doubly fed induction generator wind farms (DFIG), which are connected to power system, to effectively participate in feeding electrical loads. The oscillation in power system is one of the challenges of the interconnection of wind farms to the grid. The model of DFIG contains several gains which need to be achieved with optimal values. This aim can be accomplished using an optimization algorithm in order to obtain the best performance. The multi-objective optimization algorithm is used to determine the optimal control system gains under several objectives. In this paper, a multi-objective genetic algorithm is applied to the DFIG model to determine the optimal values of the gains of DFIG control system. In order to point out the contribution of this work; the performance of optimized DFIG model is compared with the non-optimized model of DFIG. The results show that the optimized model of DFIG has better performance over the non-optimized DFIG model.
This study presents an innovative strategy for load frequency control (LFC) using a combination structure of tilt-derivative and tilt-integral gains to form a TD-TI controller. Furthermore, a new improved optimization technique, namely the quantum chaos game optimizer (QCGO) is applied to tune the gains of the proposed combination TD-TI controller in two-area interconnected hybrid power systems, while the effectiveness of the proposed QCGO is validated via a comparison of its performance with the traditional CGO and other optimizers when considering 23 bench functions. Correspondingly, the effectiveness of the proposed controller is validated by comparing its performance with other controllers, such as the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller based on different optimizers, the tilt-integral-derivative (TID) controller based on a CGO algorithm, and the TID controller based on a QCGO algorithm, where the effectiveness of the proposed TD-TI controller based on the QCGO algorithm is ensured using different load patterns (i.e., step load perturbation (SLP), series SLP, and random load variation (RLV)). Furthermore, the challenges of renewable energy penetration and communication time delay are considered to test the robustness of the proposed controller in achieving more system stability. In addition, the integration of electric vehicles as dispersed energy storage units in both areas has been considered to test their effectiveness in achieving power grid stability. The simulation results elucidate that the proposed TD-TI controller based on the QCGO controller can achieve more system stability under the different aforementioned challenges.
This study proposes a new optimization technique, known as the eagle strategy arithmetic optimization algorithm (ESAOA), to address the limitations of the original algorithm called arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA). ESAOA is suggested to enhance the implementation of the original AOA. It includes an eagle strategy to avoid premature convergence and increase the populations’ efficacy to reach the optimum solution. The improved algorithm is utilized to fine-tune the parameters of the fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) and the PID controllers for supporting the frequency stability of a hybrid two-area multi-sources power system. Here, each area composites a combination of conventional power plants (i.e., thermal-hydro-gas) and renewable energy sources (i.e., wind farm and solar farm). Furthermore, the superiority of the proposed algorithm has been validated based on 23 benchmark functions. Then, the superiority of the proposed FOPID-based ESAOA algorithm is verified through a comparison of its performance with other controller performances (i.e., PID-based AOA, PID-based ESAOA, and PID-based teaching learning-based optimization TLBO) under different operating conditions. Furthermore, the system nonlinearities, system uncertainties, high renewable power penetration, and control time delay has been considered to ensure the effectiveness of the proposed FOPID based on the ES-AOA algorithm. All simulation results elucidate that the domination in favor of the proposed FOPID-based ES-AOA algorithm in enhancing the frequency stability effectually will guarantee a reliable performance.
