Isolated and Interconnected Multi-Area Hybrid Power Systems: A Review on Control Strategies

Abstract

Concerned with the increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to fossil fuels, the entire world is focusing on electricity generation through renewable energy resources. The most advantageous aspect of the distributed renewable sources is to provide the electricity to remote, scattered and the deprived rural areas by developing the hybrid power system at the smaller scale where power transmission through grid extension is not viable due to some economical, technical or environmental constraints for building new transmission lines. An accurate and adequate control strategy becomes inevitable to uphold the smooth operation by restraining the frequency and voltage deviation within its limit ensuring the highest degree of reliability of hybrid power system to provide an adequate power quality. In this paper, a comprehensive review of different control strategies adopted in isolated and interconnected multi-area hybrid power systems is presented.

Harmonic Mitigation Using Meta-Heuristic Optimization for Shunt Adaptive Power Filters: A Review

“…The bGWO-level gray wolf is the second tier in the pack that does the job of helping the aGWO-grade gray wolf make other decisions in the pack. Gray wolves of rank xGWO are the lowest level in the pack and always perform tasks under the direction of gray wolves of other ranks, namely aGWO, bGWO and Dgwo [139][140][141][142][143][144]. The mathematical equation of GWO in the process of tracking, encircling and attacking slugs is described by Formulas ( 80) and (81).…”

Control technique for power quality improvement of isolated wind power generation system

“…G-Torres et al [10] a novel control strategy applied on back-to-back converter with DC-link connected with PMSG for MPPT and improve PQ profile. APF was used to improve PQ for isolated WT with PMSG feeding non-liner load and compare the results with tuning inductors and capacitors (LC) filter, the proposed active power filter has been observed to be capable of minimizing the source current harmonics without requiring fine tuning of components, keeping the power factor near unity over a wide variation of load [11]. According to Poudel et al [12] a comparative study for control methods in isolated hybrid power systems was proposed, voltage fluctuations and frequency oscillations requires robust control strategies which can be achieved by choosing the proper soft computing algorithm such as genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm (PS), mine blast algorithm, and other applications of artificial intelligence (AI).…”

Power System Analysis during Fast Desynchronization from Synchronous Area and Operation in Islanded Mode

“…The main purpose of the EPS is to ensure efficient and reliable power supply for consumers. To achieve this goal, it is important to maintain the integrity and compatibility of the EPS elements, as well as to ensure the management, operation, and coordinated expansion of the generation capabilities, transmission network, and interconnections with other EPSs [1][2][3][4]. The sustainable functioning of an EPS requires the continuous development of the security and reliability of energy supply, availability and adequacy of energy resources, and efficient use of energy resources and energy consumption.…”

“…There must be a coherent and sustainable development of the energy sector, along with a strategy to reduce the negative environmental impacts of energy activities as well as the protection of consumer rights and legitimate interests. A strategy for the use and development of local and renewable energy resources must also be included [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”
