Optimization algorithms for steady state analysis of self excited induction generator

Abstract

The current publication is directed to evaluate the steady state performance of three-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) utilizing particle swarm optimization (PSO), grey wolf optimization (GWO), wale optimization algorithm (WOA), genetic algorithm (GA), and three MATLAB optimization functions (<em><span lang="EN-US">fminimax</span></em><span lang="EN-US">, </span><em><span lang="EN-US">fmincon</span></em><span lang="EN-US">, </span><em><span lang="EN-US">fminunc</span></em><span lang="EN-US">). The behavior of the output voltage and frequency under a vast range of variation in the load, rotational speed and excitation capacitance is examined for each optimizer. A comparison made shows that the most accurate results are obtained with GA followed by GWO. Consequently, GA optimizer can be categorized as the best choice to analyze the generator under various conditions.</span>
