Determination of the parameters of the firefly method for PID parameters in solar panel applications

Abstract

The optimal performance of solar panels is very important to produce maximum electrical energy. Solar panels can work optimally when equipped with a solar tracker. The solar panel tracker works by following the sun's movement. A Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID) based control is used to optimize the performance of the solar tracker. An optimal tuning is needed to get the PID parameter. The Firefly method is an intelligent method that can be used to optimize PID parameters. Three Firefly Algorithm (FA) parameters are used in the program: Beta is used to determine firefly speed, Alpha is used for flexibility of movement, and Gamma is used for more complex constraints or problems. This Dual Axis photovoltaic tracking study uses the beta value determination, changing the Bêta value from 0.1 to 0.9. From the results of 10 models, it was found that the PID constant values were varied. On the horizontal Axis, the best results are if the Beta is given at 0.4, and the worst result is if the Beta is given at 0.8. On the vertical Axis, the best results are if the Beta is given at 0.3, and the worst result is if the Beta is given at 0.8.

Hybrid Method for Optimization of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM) Rotation using FA-ANFIS

“…Operation is essentially similar to large-field-wound synchronous machines with one important exception, PMSMs are typically operated from variable speed power electronics and do not operate at a single fixed speed. PID Controller [3], Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC), and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) [4]are often used to solve system optimization problems. FA has been widely used to solve control optimization problems [5][3], wind turbine optimization [6], wind-diesel optimization [7], micro hydro optimization [8], photo voltaic optimization [3][9], vehicle steer optimization [10], power grid reconfiguration [11], and other optimizations.…”
