Abstract:
Recent improvements in renewable energy sources (RESs) and their extensive use in the power industry have created significant issues for their operation, security, and management. Due to the ongoing reduction of power system inertia, maintaining operational frequency at its nominal value and minimizing tie-line power variations constitute essential variables for these improvements. A novel improved frequency stabilization approach based on modified fractional order tilt controller is presented for interconnected diverse power systems with integration of sea wave energy, photovoltaic, wind, energy storage system and biodiesel generator. The fractional order tilt integral double derivative (FOTIDD2) is a novel controller that is developed to address the frequency stabilization problems of a hybrid power structure that is integrated with sources of clean energy and devices for storing energy. A recent optimization algorithm inspired by human behavior called mother optimization algorithm (MOA) is applied to adjust the coefficient of the proposed cascaded controller. The FOTIDD2 controller was compared with other control methods in terms of its transient performance, in order to determine its effectiveness. Further, the mother optimization algorithm results are compared with those of sine cosine algorithm (SCA), fox optimization algorithm (FOA), and grey wolf optimization (GWO). FOTIDD2 controller was found to be more effective than PID controller in respect of reducing overshoot (Osh) by 79.31%, 83.78% and 67.99%, improving time settlement by 33.22%, 29.87%, and 22.45% and reducing undershoot (Ush) by 79.13%, 89.34%, and 86.90% for the (∆F1), (∆F2), and (∆Ptie), respectively.
