This paper presents an improved hybrid micro-grid load frequency control scheme for an autonomous system. The micro-grid system comprises of renewable and non-renewable energy-based Power Generating Units (PGU) which consist of Solar Photovoltaic, WT Generator, Solar Thermal Power Generator, Diesel Engine Generator, Fuel Cell (FC) with Aqua Electrolizer (AE). However, power produce from renewable sources in microgrid are intermittent in supply, hence make it difficult to maintain power balance between generated power and demand. Therefore, Battery energy storage system, ultra-capacitor and flywheel energy storage systems make up the energy storage units. These separate units are selected and combined to form two different scenarios in this study.  This approach mitigates frequency fluctuations during disturbances (sudden load changes) by ensuring balance between the generated power and demand. For each scenario, Moth flame optimization algorithm optimized Proportional-Integral controllers were utilized to control the micro-grid (to minimize fluctuations from the output power of the non-dispatchable sources and from sudden load change). The results of the developed scheme were compared with that of Quasi-Oppositional Harmony Search Algorithm for overshoot and settling time of the frequency deviation. From the results obtained, the proposed scheme outperformed that of the quasi-oppositional harmony search algorithm optimized controller by an average percentage improvement of 35.95% and 28.76% in the case of overshoot and settling time when the system step input was suddenly increased. All modelling analysis were carried out in MATLAB R2019b environment. Keywords—Frequency Deviation, Micro-grid, Moth flame optimization algorithm, Quasi-Oppositional Harmony Search Algorithm.

Optimal operation of energy storage systems plays an important role in enhancing their lifetime and efficiency. This paper combines the concepts of the cyber–physical system (CPS) and multi-objective optimization into the control structure of the hybrid energy storage system (HESS). Owing to the time-varying characteristics of HESS, combining real-time data with physical models via CPS can significantly promote the performance of HESS. The multi-objective optimization model designed in this paper can improve the utilization of supercapacitors, reduce energy consumption, and prevent the state of charge (SOC) of HESS from exceeding the limitation. The new control scheme takes the characteristics of the components of HESS into account and is beneficial in reducing battery short-term power cycling and high discharge currents. The rain-flow counting algorithm is applied for battery life prediction to quantify the benefits of the HESS under the control scheme proposed. A much better power-sharing relationship between the supercapacitor and the lithium–ion battery (LiB) can be observed from the SIMULINK results and the case study with our new control scheme. Moreover, compared to the traditional low-pass filter control method, the battery lifetime is quantifiably increased from 3.51 years to 10.20 years while the energy efficiency is improved by 1.56%.

With the increasing penetration level of wind turbine generators (WTGs) integrated into the power system, the WTGs are enforced to aid network and fulfill the low voltage ride through (LVRT) requirements during faults. To enhance LVRT capability of permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based WTG connected to the grid, this paper presents a novel coordinated control scheme named overspeed-while-storing control for PMSG-based WTG. The proposed control scheme purely regulates the rotor speed to reduce the input power of the machine-side converter (MSC) during slight voltage sags. Contrarily, when the severe voltage sag occurs, the coordinated control scheme sets the rotor speed at the upper-limit to decrease the input power of the MSC at the greatest extent, while the surplus power is absorbed by the supercapacitor energy storage (SCES) so as to reduce its maximum capacity. Moreover, the specific capacity configuration scheme of SCES is detailed in this paper. The effectiveness of the overspeed-while-storing control in enhancing the LVRT capability is validated under different levels of voltage sags and different fault types in MATLAB/Simulink.
