Real-Time Implementation of the Predictive-Based Control with Bacterial Foraging Optimization Technique for Power Management in Standalone Microgrid Application

Abstract

In this paper, the predictive-based control with bacterial foraging optimization technique for power management in a standalone microgrid is studied and implemented. The heuristic optimization method based on the social foraging behavior of Escherichia coli bacteria is employed to determine the power references from the non-renewable energy sources and loads of the proposed configuration, which consists of a fixed speed diesel generator and battery storage system (BES). The two-stage configuration is controlled to maintain the DC-link voltage constant, regulate the AC voltage and frequency, and improve the power quality, simultaneously. For these tasks, on the AC side, the obtained power references are used as input signals to the predictive-based control. With the help of the system parameters, the predictive-based control computes all possible states of the system on the next sampling time and compares them with the estimated power references obtained using the bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) technique to get the inverter current reference. For the DC side, the same concept based on the predictive approach is employed to control the DC-DC buck-boost converter by regulating the DC-link voltage using the forward Euler method to generate the discrete-time model to predict in real-time the BES current. The proposed control strategies are evaluated using simulation results obtained with Matlab/Simulink in presence of different types of loads, as well as experimental results obtained with a small-scale microgrid.

Hardware Implementation of Composite Control Strategy for Wind-PV-Battery Hybrid Off-Grid Power Generation System

“…The hybrid off-grid power generation system based on renewable energy sources (RES), such as a wind turbine (WT), photovoltaics (PVs array) a non-renewable diesel generator (DG), and an energy storage system (ESS), has demonstrated its capability to provide uninterrupted and clean energy to the connected electrical local loads at low cost [1][2][3]. Many off-grid configurations based on the hybridization of different RESs, and their control strategies, are detailed in [4,5].…”

Research and Implementation of Real-time Render Optimization Algorithm Based on GPU

“…Large-scale rendering of complex scenes Under normal circumstances, can choose when rendering large-scale complex scenarios, there are many ways of eliminating algorithm such as sunscreen, and instantiate technology, LOD algorithm, and this paper studies on the basis of this puts forward a new rendering algorithm, which is under the guidance of the Unity engine, terrain and its model in optimization design of complex scenes. Combined with the current technology application and research and development situation, this new algorithm design has a strong efficiency and correctness, even in large and complex scenes can still improve the efficiency and quality of the actual rendering [1][2][3][4]. In simple terms, rendering refers to the process of using software to generate images from a model during computer drawing.…”
