This work presents the power generation control of a two-area, hybrid, deregulated power system integrated with renewable energy sources (RES). The incorporation of appropriate system non-linearities and RES into the power system makes it complex, but more practical. The hybrid deregulated power system with RES is a complex nonlinear system that regularly exposes the major issue of system dynamic control due to insufficient damping under varying loading circumstances. The generation-demand equilibrium point of the power system varies following a contingency; hence, it becomes difficult to maintain the appropriate equilibrium point via traditional control approaches. To solve this problem, novel control approaches, along with rapid-acting energy storage devices (ESD), are immediate need for advanced power systems. As a result, various secondary controllers are inspected for improvements in system dynamics. A performance comparison infers the cascaded ID-PD controller as the optimum one. The secondary controller gains are successfully optimized by the powerful satin bowerbird optimization (SBO) technique. Additionally, the impact of a super-conducting-magnetic-energy-storage (SMES) device in system dynamics and control of developed power system is analyzed in this study. A sensitivity evaluation (SE) infers that SBO-optimized cascaded ID-PD controller gains are strong enough for alterations in load perturbations, system loading, inertial constant (H), solar irradiance and the DISCO involvement matrix (DIM).

This paper is focused on design and application of Pseudo-Derivative Feedback (PDF) controller for Automatic Generation Control (AGC) of a two-area thermal reheat interconnected power system treated in deregulated condition. The proposed controller gains are tuned simultaneously using Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) in order to achieve the optimal transient response of the test system. The control performance of the PDF controller is compared with Proportional Integral (PI) and Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controllers. Further to improve the AGC performance, Hydrogen Energy Storage (HES) are included in its control area. The execution of HES unit captures the underlying fall in frequency as well as the tie line control power deviations after a sudden load unsettling influence. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed PDF controller enhance the dynamic response of the deregulated power system as compared with PI and PID contrtoller. The frequency oscillation and tie-line power deviations in the control zones are reduced and the settling time is additionally enhanced when HES unit takes an interest in the frequency regulation along with the traditional generators. Additionally, the Power System Restoration Indices (PSRI) is figured in view of system dynamic performances and the remedial measures to be taken can be decreed. These PSRI shows that the ancillary service requirement to enhances the effectiveness of physical task of the power system with the expanded transmission limit in the system. The presence of an Hydrogen Energy Storage (HES) water electrolyser coupled to a fuel cell improves significantly the control and operation of an energy system and provides good margin of stability of the grid system compared to that a system without HES unit.

With the rapid development of industry, more fossil energy is consumed to generate electricity, which increases carbon emissions and aggravates the burden of environmental protection. To reduce carbon emissions, traditional centralized power generation networks are transforming into distributed renewable generation systems. However, the deployment of distributed generation systems can affect power system economy and stability. In this paper, under different time scales, system economy, stability, carbon emissions, and renewable energy fluctuation are comprehensively considered to optimize battery and super-capacitor installation capacity for an off-grid power system. After that, based on the genetic algorithm, this paper shows the optimal system operation strategy under the condition of the theoretical best energy storage capacity. Finally, the theoretical best capacity is tested under different renewable energy volatility rates. The simulation results show that by properly sizing the storage system’s capacity, although the average daily costs of the system can increase by 10%, the system’s carbon emissions also reduce by 42%. Additionally, the system peak valley gap reduces by 23.3%, and the renewable energy output’s fluctuation range and system loss of load probability are successfully limited in an allowable range. Lastly, it has less influence on the theoretical best energy storage capacity if the renewable energy volatility rate can be limited to within 10%.
