Solar, Wind and Their Hybridization Integration for Multi-Machine Power System Oscillation Controllers Optimization: A Review

Abstract

Massive growth in global electrical energy demand has necessitated a genuine exploration and integration of solar and wind energy into the electrical power mix. This incorporation goes a long way in improving the cumulative generated power capacity of the power system. However, wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) are intermittent in nature, making the provisioning of a good maximum power tracking (MPPT) scheme necessary. Furthermore, the integration is characterized by synchronization challenges and introduces various modes of power system oscillations as it is converter-driven. This greatly affects the overall stability of the integrated power mix. Consequently, various technological models have been designed to address these challenges ranging from MPPT schemes, phase-lock loop (PLL), virtual synchronous generator (VSG), power system stabilizers (PSS), flexible AC transmission system (FACTS), coordinated control and artificial intelligence (AI). In this work, a multi-machine power system model is reviewed for integration stability studies. Various technical solutions associated with the integration are also reviewed. MPPT, PLL, VSG, PSS, FACTS, coordinated control, and various optimization technique schemes used for damping controller design are discussed.

Machine Learning- and Artificial Intelligence-Derived Prediction for Home Smart Energy Systems with PV Installation and Battery Energy Storage

“…The intermittent nature of the supply of energy from PV panels requires both an efficient maximum power tracking scheme, synchronization and power system oscillations to maintain its stability. Previous technological models in this area also included phaselocked loops, virtual synchronous generators, power system stabilizers and flexible AC transmission systems, but they are increasingly being supplemented or even replaced by AI-based coordinated control systems [33]. Changes in temperature and solar radiation can have the greatest impact on a sharp increase or decrease in power output.…”

Modified Multimachine Power System Design with DFIG-WECS and Damping Controller

“…These renewable energy sources include biomass, solar, geothermal, wind, and hydrogen energy. However, wind and solar renewable energy sources are growing rapidly in terms of their integration and development [1,2]. Wind energy is generated through a wind energy conversion system (WECS), in which a wind turbine is connected to a generator.…”

Direct Power Control for Three-Level Multifunctional Voltage Source Inverter of PV Systems Using a Simplified Super-Twisting Algorithm

“…Many countries and some private sectors invest huge amounts of money to cater to the high and growing demand locally, using mostly conventional generators such as coal, diesel turbine, or gas turbine. The use of these sources is becoming limited due to their high prices, and inefficient and untidy operation [1]. It is also known that this serious production contributes to increasing carbon dioxide emissions and global warming, as well as pollution of the Earth.…”
