Abstract

A solar photovoltaic (PV) array is part of a PV power plant as a generation unit. PV array that are usually placed on top of buildings or the ground will be very susceptible to dirt and dust. Thus, this dirt and dust will be able to reduce the performance and work efficiency of the generation unit. Cleaning PV arrays by manpower requires high effort, cost, and risk, especially in higher location. This study presents the design of a mobile robot that is used to replace human labor to clean PV arrays. That way, the PV array maintenance steps can reduce operational costs and risks. This intelligent controlled mobile robot can maneuver safely and efficiently over PV arrays. gyroscope and proximity sensors are used to detect and follow the sweep path over the entire PV array area. Proportional integral derivative (PID) control test makes the robot can stabilize in about 5.72 seconds to keep on the track. The smart PV cleaning robot has average operation time about 13 minutes in autonomous mode and 20-24 minutes in manual mode. The operation of the robot is effective to give more efficiency on the use of energy, time, and maintenance costs of PV array system.

Abstract

In modern power systems, renewable-based power plant such as wind power system is integrated significantly. Among numerous types of wind power systems doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) is becoming favorable in the last few years. However, adding a wind power plant could give a new challenge to the power system, especially in frequency stability. Hence, it is important to control the frequency of the power system to be able to find its initial condition in every condition. Generally, the frequency of the power system can be controlled by using automatic generation control (AGC). AGC is used to maintain the balance between generating capacity and the load by adding integral control to the governor. However, with more and more wind power systems in the grid conventional AGC is unsuitable. Hence, it is important to have an advanced AGC based on the artificial intelligence method. This paper proposed the application of fuzzy-proportional integrator derivative (fuzzy-PID) for AGC in power systems considering the high penetration of wind power systems. From the simulation results, it is found that the proposed method can reduce the overshoot and accelerate the settling time of frequency better than using conventional AGC.

Abstract

Renewable energy has become a new trend in power systems. Renewable-based power plants such as wind power systems and photovoltaics. This paper proposed a novel method for inertia emulation based on superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES). To get better inertia support for the system, a type-2 fuzzy controller is used as the SMES controller. An area power system is used as the test system to investigate the performance of type-2 fuzzy controller on SMES. Time domain simulation is carried out to show the efficacy of the proposed method. From the simulation results, it is found that the proposed controller can reduce the overshoot of frequency by up to 20% compared to the type-1 fuzzy controller. It is also hoped that the proposed method can be used as a reference of the Industrial people.

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel smart virtual rotor controller (VRC) that combines the Bat Algorithm (BA) with extreme learning machine (ELM) to enhance frequency stability in power systems. To reflect the impact of renewable integration, inverter-based power plants are incorporated to simulate high levels of penetration from power-electronics-based generation. The proposed method first tunes the virtual rotor parameters (virtual inertia and damping control) using BA under varying operating conditions. These parameters are then trained with ELM to enable adaptive control across different scenarios. Time-domain simulations demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms existing methods in terms of frequency nadir and settling time, while also achieving a significant reduction in execution time, requiring only 0.0033 seconds.

Abstract

This study presents an adaptive voltage controller for a DC-DC boost converter using the extreme learning machine (ELM) algorithm to address the limitations of conventional control techniques under varying load and reference voltage conditions. The ELM is implemented to predict the optimal parameters of a PI controller (Kp and Ki), enabling real-time adaptability of the system. Simulation results in MATLAB/Simulink demonstrate that the proposed ELM-based proportional-integral controller (PI-ELM) outperforms both traditional PI controllers and those optimized using metaheuristic algorithms. Specifically, the controller achieved a maximum absolute error of only 0.0185 for Kp and 0.0294 for Ki across a range of operating conditions, with corresponding mean squared errors (MSE) of 0.01861 and 0.02798, respectively. These findings confirm the effectiveness of the ELM in enhancing the dynamic response and robustness of boost converter voltage regulation systems.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country with several islands, and providing clean energy in islanded power systems connected to a single main grid would be economy challenging. On the other hand, absence of inertia, system strength, and damping value in islanded power systems due to inverter interfaced renewable energy (RE) resources can cause significant decline of power system stability. The primary concern with integrating large scale photovoltaic (PV) power plant in an islanded power system is maintaining frequency and voltage stability. This research investigates the application of virtual synchronous generator (VSG) in Lombok’s Islanded power system, considering high penetration of PV. A thorough time domain simulation is performed with a detailed modelling of power system in Lombok Island to study the dynamic voltage and frequency stability. The simulation results show that the VSG improves both frequency and voltage stability in transient and steady state stages, ensuring smoother operation and faster stabilization time. It is found that the frequency deviation can be curtail up to 0.5% and the steady state can be increased up to 0.1%.
