Influence of Ultracapacitor and Plug-In Electric Vehicle for Frequency Regulation of Hybrid Power System Utilizing Artificial Gorilla Troops Optimizer Algorithm

Abstract

The proposed research work considers the effect of ultracapacitor (UC) and plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) inside a distributed energy sources based on three-area hybrid power system. Recently developed artificial gorilla troops optimizer (GTO) algorithm-based fractional order tilt integral derivative (FOTID) controller is suggested for load frequency control (LFC) of a three-area hybrid power system. By setting up a TID controller for the hybrid system’s frequency regulation, the algorithms’ realistic use is attempted via showcasing its immense potential. The results of the GTO-based TID regulator are observed better over GTO-based PID. Next, by considering a modification of system settings and under existence of intermittent behavior of renewable energy sources, it is evident that the influence of UC and PEV is more ethical compared to the conventional regulator-based frequency control. Additionally, it is seen that the suggested GTO-based FOTID controller along with the UC and PEV outperforms GTO-based TID controller in terms of lesser overshoots/settling times and fast responses.
