Adaptive constrained population extremal optimisation‐based robust proportional‐integral‐derivation frequency control method for an islanded microgrid

Abstract

The expected penetration of renewable sources is driving the islanded microgrid towards uncertainties, which have highly influence the reliability and complexities of frequency control. To alleviate the influence caused by load fluctuations and inherent variability of renewable sources, this article proposes an optimised robust proportional-integralderivation (PID) frequency control method by taking full advantage of a robust control strategy while simultaneously maintaining the basic characteristics of a PID controller. During the process of iterated optimisation, a weighted objective function is used to balance the tracking error performance, robust stability and disturbance attenuation performance. Then, the robust PID frequency (RPIDF) controller is determined by an adaptive constrained population extremal optimisation algorithm based on self-adaptive penalty constraint-handling technique. The proposed control method is examined on a typical islanded microgrid, and the control performance is evaluated under various disturbances and parametric uncertainties. Finally, the simulation results indicate that the fitness value of the proposed method is 1.7872, which is lower than 2.9585 and 3.0887 obtained by two other evolutionary algorithms-based RPIDF controllers. Moreover, the comprehensive simulation results fully demonstrate that the proposed method is superior to other comparison methods in terms of four performance indices on the most considered scenarios.

Chaotic butterfly optimization algorithm based cascaded PI‐TID controller for frequency control in three area hybrid microgrid system

“…As such, frequency control of the hybrid microgrid has been explored significantly in the single area. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] The authors in Reference 14 tried to settle the frequency of microgrid that has solar PV, diesel generator and wind turbines as the generating units. The system uses PID controllers optimized with craziness-based particle swarm optimization (CRPSO) optimized PID controller.…”

A Dual Biogeography-Based Optimization Algorithm for Solving High-Dimensional Global Optimization Problems and Engineering Design Problems

“…In the past 40 years, swarm intelligence EAs have developed rapidly and have been widely used in communication [1], finance [2], power grid [3], military [4], control system [5], [6] and other fields. Among them, the biogeographybased optimization (BBO) proposed by Dr. Simon of the United States in 2008 is a new swarm heuristic algorithm [7].…”
