Grasshopper optimization algorithm optimized multistage controller for automatic generation control of a power system with FACTS devices

Abstract

This paper uses a Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) optimized PDF plus (1 + PI) controller for Automatic generation control (AGC) of a power system with Flexible AC Transmission system (FACTS) devices. Three differently rated reheat turbine operated thermal units with appropriate generation rate constraint (GRC) are considered along with different FACTS devices. A new multistage controller design structure of a PDF plus (1 + PI) is introduced in the FACTS empowered power system for AGC while the controller gains are tuned by the GOA. The superiority of the proposed algorithm over the Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms is demonstrated. The dynamic responses of GOA optimized PDF plus (1 + PI) are compared with PIDF, PID and PI controllers on the same system. It is demonstrated that GOA optimized PDF plus (1 + PI) controller provides optimum responses in terms of settling time and peak deviations compared to other controllers. In addition, a GOA-tuned PDF plus (1 + PI) controller with Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC) exhibits optimal results compared to other FACTS devices. The sturdiness of the projected controller is validated using sensitivity analysis with numerous load patterns and a wide variation of parameterization. To further validate the real-time feasibility of the proposed method, experiments using OPAL-RT OP5700 RCP/HIL and FPGA based real-time simulations are carried out.

Mapping Relation of Leakage Currents of Polluted Insulators and Discharge Arc Area

“…The leakage current, whose amplitude is affected by the pollution level, the humidity, the discharge strength, etc., may also be used to reflect the insulator surface condition, the climatic condition, and the applied voltage condition. In recent years, many efforts have been devoted to determining the discharge status using the leakage current (Yang and Di, 2018;Zhang and Luo, 2018;Bakeer Abualkasim et al, 2021;Li et al, 2021;Nayak et al, 2021).…”

Optimal BRA based electric demand prediction strategy considering instance‐based learning of the forecast factors

“…However, smaller households have more significant variations in energy consumption. Therefore, another performance indicator namely the mean absolute error (E MAE ) and E Daily peak(MAPE) has been adopted to access the accuracy of the prospective approach for electric load predictions during peak and off-peak intervals that can be formulated by Equations ( 29)- (31) as follows:…”

“…26 Besides, forecasting approaches have been applied for intermittent energy sources and microgrids were investigated. 27 The applications of numerous metaheuristic approaches in LF and DSM like grey wolf optimization (GWO), 28,29 grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA), 30,31 salp-swarm algorithm (SSA), 32 and Harris hawks optimization (HHO) 33 were analysed. ANN-based models have attracted the most for solving the buildings' LF problem among all existing forecasting approaches.…”

Feedback Linearization Control Design for Battery/SMES Hybrid Energy Storage Systems Used in Distribution Network

“…Although distributed energy has many advantages, there are still many shortcomings; for instance, the control mode of DG is very complex, and the access cost is high (Bizon, 2018;Shi et al, 2018). In addition, since DG is an uncontrollable source, it is imperative to solve the limitations and isolation problems of DG to reduce the influence of DG on large power grid (Murty and Kumar, 2021). In general, DG is a microgeneration unit that can realize energy conversion and independent control.…”
