Provisional Microgrid Frequency Regulation by Brain Emotional Learning Based Intelligent Controller and Implementation Through FPGA

Abstract

AbstractWith the advancement of technology and human movement towards evolution, intelligent control methods are becoming more important. One of the areas of progress is related to the development of new frameworks for electricity generation and distribution systems, and the microgrid structure with economic capabilities is one of the frameworks. Accordingly, this paper presents a new practical method for controlling the frequency of microgrids and is able to cover the following issues at the same time. 1- It considers the nonlinear model of provisional microgrid which has a hybrid structure (AC and DC) in addition to renewable energy sources. 2- Introduces a method for microgrid frequency control under different operational conditions that performs based on the brain emotional learning. 3- Ensures the operation and applicability of the control method for the provisional microgrid through implementation of FPGA for the first time 4- Confirms the robustness of the proposed method under extreme load changes. So, in the simulation scenarios, the effects of wind turbine and solar energy are considered and under the influence of various changes in load and system uncertainties, the robustness and efficiency of the proposed method are well demonstrated.
