Modelling and Simulation of Intelligent Master Controller Model for Hybridized Power Pool Deployment

Abstract

Every conceptual framework requires several developmental stages such as prototyping, preproduction and production stages. This paper considers prototype developmental stage which entails design, modelling and simulation for the conceptual system to determine suitable parameters and specifications before the production task is initiation. The inability to represent the conceptual control system with mathematical equivalence would hamper on the system operational efficiency, stability, controllability and observability; would not be guaranteed. This paper focuses on the modelling and simulation of intelligent master controller for hybridized power pool deployment. This is achieved using state space mathematical model, MATLAB/Simulink and proteus software. The state space model provides the mathematical equation for the system stability, controllability and observability criteria from the system transfer function. The MATLAB/Simulink software provides response trends and the Proteus software provides the virtual implementation platform for concept validation with its code written in Arduino (IDE). The system was demonstrated through simulation and the virtual results showed that the system capability in fostering intelligent control commands in the hybridized power pool scenario. The system stability was determined using Root locus, Nyquist and Routh Hurwitz criteria. Subsequent research efforts are being made towards implementing the design optimizable on the hardware using the design specifications.
