Effective Load Frequency Control of Power System with Two-Degree Freedom Tilt-Integral-Derivative Based on Whale Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

Nowadays, the operation and control of power systems are a big challenge. An essential part of the power system (PS) control is load frequency control (LFC). Different secondary controllers are implemented for the frequency control problem. Hence, cascaded two-degree freedom and a tilt-integral-derivative controller having a filter (2DOFTIDF) are intended in this paper and implemented for load frequency control. In order to determine the efficiency of the 2DOFTIDF controller, a well-known non-reheat thermal system with/without a governor dead band is considered. A new whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is used to enhance the suggested controller parameters. The predominance of the presented method is exhibited by comparing the consequences with different heuristic techniques tuned to controllers published recently. Further, the simulation results for two test cases indicate that system enactments are enhanced by introducing the suggested controller and are also best suited in the presence of system nonlinearity. Finally, random load fluctuation along with noise and changing the system parameters are also used to determine the reliability of the suggested controller. Compared to the WOA-tuned TIDF controller, the settling time of ΔF1, ΔF2, and ΔPTie is improved by 45.45%, 56.77%, and 20.26%, respectively, with the WOA-tuned 2DOFTIDF controller and by 40%, 48.27%, and 20%, respectively, with the DE-tuned TIDF controller. . Experimental validation using the hardware-in-the-loop real-time simulation based on OPAL-RT has been carried out to confirm the viability of the proposed approach.

An innovative fuzzy logic frequency regulation strategy for two-area power systems

“…In remote, isolated locations with significant wind speed for electricity generation, the isolated hybrid system uses multiple energy sources to produce electricity [11]. In an autonomous system, it is more difficult to control the frequency.…”

“…Hence, in FLC, gain values should be computed at the point of equilibrium, where they should be proportionate to the input E without a controller [23]. Gain values of PID in FLC represented as ( 9)- (11).…”
