Monitoring of diesel generators is an important part of the management program of electricity utilities as well as telecommunication companies' in-order to have their cellular towers and base transmitter stations up all the time. A reliable remote monitoring method over the on-site method is always desirable so that managing of time and resources can take place as efficiently as possible. This paper looks into solving the issue of on-site monitoring and control of diesel generators through online monitoring to have actual observation of basic parameters of a running diesel generator using readily available resources which are also cheap to setup and maintain. The work is investigated using the platform of Internet of Things (IoT) which is a very versatile technology in regards to the digital age in terms of interacting with environment and things. This paper looks into exploring the monitoring and control of generator using the power of IoT paradigm.
This paper presents a new fractional-order proportional-integral, (PI)λ (FO[PI]) type structure to investigate the load frequency control (LFC) problem. In the literature, some controllers’ extensive tuning options may slow or complicate the optimization process. Due to the intricacy of the tuning, even if there are fewer tuning parameters, a robust structure can be obtained. The (PI)λ structure deviates from the standard FOPI, integer PID, or PI-PD controllers with the same or fewer tuning parameters. The efficacy of a tri-parametric fractional-order controller is examined on a two-area interconnected hybrid power system comprising a photovoltaic (PV) grid and a Reheated Thermal Generator (RTG). In order to obtain optimal performance with lower control efforts, a novel dual-performance index is developed for the LFC problem. Various analyses are also proven to perform better than other optimized controllers from the recent literature. The presented scheme is significantly robust to disturbance interruptions, non-linearities, and parameter perturbations. It is also observed that there are no stability issues due to communication time delays. It is highlighted that the improvement can be obtained without adding complex structure or controller parameters.
