This paper deals with automatic generation control of multi area power system using a Fuzzy PID controller. The controller parameters are optimized by Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) algorithm. Initially, Hydro-Thermal-Gas two area power systems is considered and superiority of the proposed controller is verified by comparing the results with GWO optimized classical PID controller as well as recently...

The paper proposes a novel multi-area state estimator based on wide area measurements where only boundary buses are considered in the coordination level. The power injection measurements are not used during the coordination level reducing the number of states and therefore size of the problem. Instead, a set of pseudo-measurements are included whenever a power injection measurement is available...

The present article investigates effects of the multi-frequency excitation on the output power of a piezomagnetoelastic energy harvester. The piezomagnetoelastic power generator is assumed to operate in the mono-stable mode. A perturbation technique based on the method of multiple scales is employed to develop an analytical solution to nonlinear differential equations governing the system dynam...

The power system network is becoming more complex nowadays so maintaining the stability of the power system is very difficult. So we have designed a 12-pulse based Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) which is operated with and without integration of Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) for enhancing the voltage stability and power oscillation damping in multi area system. Con...

In this paper, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based Proportional plus Integral (PI) controller has been presented for the Load Frequency Control (LFC) system of an interconnected power system. The power system comprises multi-source power generation which is more pragmatic. The controller gains have been optimized using an efficient PSO technique. The dynamic responses have been obtained by ...

Increasing the penetration of variable wind generation in power systems has created some new challenges in the power system operation. In such a situation, the inclusion of flexible resources which have the potential of facilitating wind power integration is necessary. Demand response (DR) programs and emerging utility-scale energy storages (ESs) are known as two powerful flexible tools that ca...

This paper presents a new load frequency control (LFC) design using the model predictive control (MPC) technique in a multi-area power system. The MPC technique has been designed such that the effect of the uncertainty due to governor and turbine parameters variation and load disturbance is reduced. Each local area controller is designed independently such that stability of the overall closed-l...

This paper proposes the application of a hierarchical fuzzy system (HFS) based on multi-input power system stabilizer (MPSS) and also Static Var Compensator (SVC) in multi-machine environment.The number of rules grows exponentially with the number of variables in a conventional fuzzy logic system. The proposed HFS method is developed to solve this problem. To reduce the number of rules the HFS ...
