Frequency stabilization of hybrid power system using robust secondary controller

Abstract

AbstractIn regards to present power system setup, this article presents a frequency stabilization of hybrid power system (HPS) assimilated with distributed generation (DG) resources, conventional thermal, geo‐thermal and electric vehicle (EV). The insertion of appropriate system non‐linearities in addition to the intermittency in renewable based generation sources leads to a more practicality into the developed HPS. For such systems, a vigorous control action with swift responding controllable device are an instantaneous requirement. In this view, a cascaded fractional order proportional‐derivative (foPD)‐multi‐stage fractional order proportional integral derivative (MSfoPID) (cascaded foPD‐MSfoPID) as secondary controller is explored for frequency stabilization of HPS. Further, the established power system is provided with erratic load deviations. The influence of EVs on frequency and tie‐line power fluctuations are examined comprehensively. Moreover, the outcome of unified power flow controller (UPFC) device as flexible AC transmission system (FACT) device for system dynamic control are illustrated. Further, sensitivity examination is exhibited to examine the resiliency of proposed cascaded foPD‐MSfoPID controller parameters for deviances in solar irradiance and number of vehicles. Finally, a proposed secondary controller is tested in case studies on standard IEEE‐39 bus system and four‐area hybrid power system.
