Recently, Direct current (DC) microgrids have gained immense popularity due to their dependable and efficient framework, as well high transmission efficiency low electric power conversion. However, the non-linear nature of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs), increased presence electronic devices sudden load changes leads onset stability issues in DC microgrid. Thereby, a microgrid structure includ...

Frequency, tie-line power, and the terminal voltages of synchronized generators must all be kept within prescribed limits to ensure stability an interconnected power grid through combined automatic generation control (AGC) voltage regulator (AVR) loops. Thermal plants, electric vehicles, renewable energy sources—including solar wind, geothermal, thermal plants—form two-area integrated system in...

Recent advancements in renewable generation resources and their vast implementation power sectors have posed serious challenges regarding operation, protection, control. Maintaining operating frequency at its nominal value reducing tie-line deviations represent crucial factors for these due to continuous reduction of system inertia. In this paper, a new modified load controller (LFC) method is ...

Connection between electric power networks is essential to cover any deficit in the generation of from them. The exchange powers plants during load disturbance should not be violated beyond their specified values. This can achieved by installing frequency control (LFC); therefore, this paper proposes a new metaheuristic-based approach using skill optimization algorithm (SOA) design fractional-o...

This paper uses the Continued Fraction Expansion (CFE) method for analog realization of fractional order differ-integrator and few special classes of fractional order (FO) controllers viz. Fractional Order Proportional-Integral-Derivative (FOPID) controller, FO[PD] controller and FO lead-lag compensator. Contemporary researchers have given several formulations for rational approximation of frac...

The issues of stochastically varying network delays and packet dropouts in Networked Control System (NCS) applications have been simultaneously addressed by time domain optimal tuning of fractional order (FO) PID controllers. Different variants of evolutionary algorithms are used for the tuning process and their performances are compared. Also the effectiveness of the fractional order PI(λ)D(μ)...

—This paper looks at frequency domain design of a fractional order (FO) PID controller for an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) system. Various performance criteria of the AVR system are formulated as system norms and is then coupled with an evolutionary multi-objective optimization (MOO) algorithm to yield Pareto optimal design trade-offs. The conflicting performance measures consist of the mi...
