Coordination between Demand Response Programming and Learning-Based FOPID Controller for Alleviation of Frequency Excursion of Hybrid Microgrid

Abstract

In recent years, residential rate consumptions have increased due to modern appliances which require a high level of electricity demands. Although mentioned appliances can improve the quality of consumers’ lives to a certain extent, they suffer from various shortcomings including raising the electricity bill as well as serious technical issues such as lack of balance between electricity generation and load disturbances. This imbalance can generally lead to the frequency excursion which is a significant concern, especially for low-inertia microgrids with unpredictable parameters. This research proposes an intelligent combination of two approaches in order to alleviate challenges related to the frequency control mechanism. Firstly, a learning-based fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) controller is trained by recurrent adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference (RANFIS) in the generation side during various operational conditions and climatic changes. In the following, a decentralized demand response (DR) programming in the load side is introduced to minimize consumption rate through controllable appliances and energy storage systems (ESSs). Furthermore, parameters uncertainties and time delay, which are generally known as two main concerns of isolated microgrids, are regarded in the frequency plan of a low-inertia microgrid including renewable energy sources (RESs), and energy storage systems (ESSs). Simulation results are illustrated in three different case studies in order to compare the performance of the proposed two methods during various operational conditions. It is obvious that the frequency deviation of microgrid can be improved by taking advantage of intelligent combination of both DR program and modern control mechanism.

Analysis of a Multi-Timescale Framework for the Voltage Control of Active Distribution Grids

“…This choice is arbitrary, and it was made for the sole purpose of demonstrating the accomplishment of the scheduling objective. The same approach was used also in Babaei et al [19] to ensure that the ESSs have enough SoC available for the following day. With such a constraint for the SoC, the scheduler guarantees that even for subsequent days, the ESSs start always with the same amount of the SoC.…”

“…The first category of papers demonstrates the benefits of day-ahead scheduling of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) [15][16][17]. Many of them focus on the management of the ESSs, taking into account the possible constraints associated with their State of Charge (SoC) [18,19]. In Jamal et al [18], for example, the ESS scheduling was forced to guarantee a minimum level of SoC for the following day, which allowed a proper day-by-day operation of the ESSs.…”

Embedding Product-Service System of Cutting Tools into the Machining Process: An Eco-Efficiency Approach toward Sustainable Development

“…The diesel engine has several applications such as power generators, automotive, tractors, and marine [24]. The advantages of diesel engine generators have increased considerably for different reasons such as high level of reliability, high speed at performance as well as easy implementation in the isolated hybrid microgrids [25]. The diesel engine is being further developed to compete with other power sources as the engine is advantageous regarding logistics, storage, efficiency and compactness [26].…”
