This work analyses the load-frequency responses of a multi-unit based two-area power system by proposing a novel cascaded fuzzy Proportional Derivative-Proportional Integral (PD-PI) controller tuned with a recently proposed grasshopper optimization algorithm. Performance of the power system comprising of conventional sources like hydro and thermal generating units is evaluated by cascaded fuzzy PD-PI controller optimised by grasshopper optimization algorithm. The potential of grasshopper optimization algorithm is validated by comparing with other algorithms. Further, load-frequency response is studied by penetrating solar-thermal and wind power generating units into the recommended system. The power system integrated with renewable sources puts forth a great stability challenge in the wake of high load perturbation. Hence, a robust secondary controller named cascaded fuzzy PD-PI controller is designed by endorsing a profound grasshopper optimization algorithm technique, to tackle this stability challenge. The credibility of the cascaded fuzzy PD-PI controller with/without nonlinearities presented in the system is validated by comparing the results obtained from proportional–integral–derivative and fuzzy-proportional–integral–derivative controllers. Besides this, the performance of the system under highly perturbed step load variation confers the robustness of the proposed method.

In recent years, fractional order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) controllers have been applied in different areas in the academy due to their superior performance over conventional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. When the literature is reviewed, it has been observed that lack of studies that use swarm-based and multi-objective optimization algorithms together with FOPID controllers in frequency control of micro-grid. The load frequency control (LFC) problem is considered as two objectives in order to eliminate the complications that occur when only the frequency deviation is minimized. In our study, a method called MOGOA-FOPID in which both the frequency deviation and the control signal are minimized together for the frequency control in the microgrid is proposed. By using the multi-objective grasshopper optimization algorithm (MOGOA), both the frequency deviation and the control signal are minimized together, and thus, it is aimed to limit the battery capacity, reduce the flywheel jerk and avoid high diesel fuel consumption as well as an effective frequency control. In order to obtain a more realistic system, not only the photovoltaic (PV) solar and wind power but also the load demand is taken in a stochastic structure. Then, the results of the proposed MOGOA-FOPID are compared with the results of multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA)-based PID/FOPID and MOGOA-PID and its superiority is demonstrated. Finally, robustness tests of the system are performed under the perturbed parameters and outperform of MOGOA-FOPID over other methods is seen.

In continually increasing area and structure of modern power system having burden demand uncertainties, the use of knowledgeable and vigorous frequency power strategy is essential for the satisfactory functioning of the Power system. A combined fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative (CFPID) controller is suggested for frequency supervision of the power system. To optimize the controller parameters, a review of sine and cosine work adjusted improved whale optimization algorithm (SCiWOA) has been utilized. The next practical application of power-system frequency control is performed by designing a CFPID controller using the proposed SCiWOA technique for a smart grid system having inexhaustible sources like sun oriented, wind, photovoltaic and capacity gadgets like a battery, flywheel just as module electric vehicles. The first advantages of the SCiWOA tuned CFPID controller over hybrid-particle-swarm-optimization and pattern-search (hPSO-PS) adjusted fuzzy proportional-integral (FPI) controller, hybrid bacterial foraging optimization algorithm-particle swarm optimization (hBFOA-PSO) adjusted proportional-integral (PI) controller, genetic algorithm (GA) tuned proportional and integral (PI) controller, BFOA adjusted PI controller, jaya algoritm (JA) tuned PID with derivative filter (PIDN) controller and teaching learning based optimization (TLBO) tuned proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller are demonstrated for the two-area non-reheat thermal power system. The second advantages of the SCiWOA tuned CFPID controller over artificial-bee-colony (ABC) tuned PID controller, SOSA tuned PID controller and Firefly algorithm (FA) tuned PID controller are demonstrated for two-area reheat thermal power system. It is seen that SCiWOA based CFPID controller is more effective in controlling the recurrence comparative with PID regulator.

AbstractThis paper uses a Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) optimized PDF plus (1 + PI) controller for Automatic generation control (AGC) of a power system with Flexible AC Transmission system (FACTS) devices. Three differently rated reheat turbine operated thermal units with appropriate generation rate constraint (GRC) are considered along with different FACTS devices. A new multistage controller design structure of a PDF plus (1 + PI) is introduced in the FACTS empowered power system for AGC while the controller gains are tuned by the GOA. The superiority of the proposed algorithm over the Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms is demonstrated. The dynamic responses of GOA optimized PDF plus (1 + PI) are compared with PIDF, PID and PI controllers on the same system. It is demonstrated that GOA optimized PDF plus (1 + PI) controller provides optimum responses in terms of settling time and peak deviations compared to other controllers. In addition, a GOA-tuned PDF plus (1 + PI) controller with Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC) exhibits optimal results compared to other FACTS devices. The sturdiness of the projected controller is validated using sensitivity analysis with numerous load patterns and a wide variation of parameterization. To further validate the real-time feasibility of the proposed method, experiments using OPAL-RT OP5700 RCP/HIL and FPGA based real-time simulations are carried out.

Proportional–integral–derivative is one of the most applicable control methods in industry. Although it is simple and effective in most cases, it does not provide robustness against disturbances and may not perform well in cases with uncertainties and nonlinearities. In this study, a fuzzy adaptive robust proportional–integral–derivative controller is used to control a nonlinear 4 degree-of-freedom quadrotor. An adaptation mechanism is submitted to the proportional–integral–derivative controller for updating the proportional, derivative, and integral gains of proportional–integral–derivative control. Furthermore, a sliding surface is generated and submitted to the adaptation mechanism for better regulation of proportional–integral–derivative gains. Afterward, a fuzzy engine is applied to regulate the sliding surface for better performance of the adaptive proportional–integral–derivative when there are disturbance and uncertainties. The multi-objective grasshopper optimization algorithm is implemented on the control system for the regulation of the control system parameters to minimize the error and control effort of the proposed hybrid control system. Finally, the obtained results are presented for a nonlinear 4 degree-of-freedom multi-purpose (for marine, ground, and aerial maneuvers) quadrotor system designed and built in Sirjan University of Technology, Sirjan, Iran, to assure the effectiveness of this technique.

Three-phase induction motor (TIM) is widely used in industrial application like paper mills, water treatment and sewage plants in the urban area. In these applications, the speed of TIM is very important that should be not varying with applied load torque. In this study, direct on line (DOL) motor starting without controller is modelled to evaluate the motor response when connected directly to main supply. Conventional PI controller for stator direct current and stator quadrature current of induction motor are designed as an inner loop controller as well as a second conventional PI controller is designed in the outer loop for controlling the TIM speed. Proposed combined PI-lead (CPIL) controllers for inner and outer loops are designed to improve the overall performance of the TIM as compared with the conventional controller. In this paper, dynamic adjustment grasshopper optimization algorithm (DAGOA) is proposed for tuning the proposed controller of the system. Numerical results based on well-selected test function demonstrate that DAGOA has a better performance in terms of speed of convergence, solution accuracy and reliability than SGOA. The study results revealed that the currents and speed of TIM system using CPIL-DAGOA are faster than system using conventional PI and CPIL controllers tuned by SGOA. Moreover, the speed controller of TIM system with CPIL controlling scheme based on DAGOA reached the steady state faster than others when applied load torque.
