Abstract

This paper proposes an estimator-based single phase robustness variable structure load frequency controller (SPRVSLFC) for the multi-region interconnected power systems (MRIPS) with communication delays. The key attainments of this research consist of two missions: i) a global stability of the power systems is guaranteed by removing the reaching phase in traditional variable structure control (TVSC) technique; and ii) a novel output feedback load frequency controller is established based on the estimator tool and output information only. Initially, a single-phase switching function is constructed to disregard the reaching phase in TVSC. Then, an unmeasurable state variable of the MRIPS is estimated by using the proposed estimator tool. Next, a new SPRVSLFC for the MRIPS is suggested based on the support of the estimator tool and output data only. Furthermore, a sufficient constraint is constructed by retaining the linear matrix inequality (LMI) procedure for ensuring the robust stability of motion dynamics in sliding mode. Finally, the performance of interconnected power plant under changed multi-constraints is imitated with the novel control technique to validate the practicability of the plant.

Abstract

In multi-area interconnected power systems (MAIPS), all the plant state’s measurement is stiff due to the lack of a device or the cost of the sensor is expensive. To solve this restriction, a novel sliding mode control technique- based load frequency controller (LFC) is investigated for MAIPS where the estimation states of the system is utilized fully in the switching surface and controller. Initially, a single-phase switching function is suggested to dismiss the reaching phase in traditional sliding mode control (TSMC) approach. Secondly, the MAIPS’s unmeasurable variables is estimated by using the suggested observer tool. Next, a new single phase robustness load frequency sliding mode controller (SPRLFSMC) for the MAIPS is established based on the support of the observer instrument and output data only. The entire plant’s stability is ensured through the Lyapunov theory. Even though the plant’s variables are not measured, the obtained results in the simulation display that the frequency remains in the nominal domain under load instabilities on the MAIPS. The simulation results for a three-area interconnected electricity plant verify the preeminence of the anticipated SPRLFSMC over other current controllers with respect to settling time and overshoot.

Abstract

A novel single phase second order variable structure controller (SPSOVSC) based on estimated variables and output information only is presented for the variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) system. In contrast with a recent method, the output feedback and second order sliding mode control techniques are deliberated for the SPSOVSC design in the VSWT. The selection of an integral single-phase sliding surface is established such that the reaching phase required in the basic variable structure control (BVSC) scheme is removed since the plant’s state trajectories always begin from the sliding surface. In addition, appropriate stability constraints by Lyapunov based novel linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique are acquired to guarantee the entire VSWT plant’s steadiness. Using the proposed techniques, the SPSOVSC is developed to modify BVSC to advance the performance of VSWT plant in terms of overshoot and settling time. The results show the new scheme is highly robust in sliding variable's fast convergence to zero asymptotically. It is obvious that the robustness of the proposed controller in terms of steadiness and usefulness of the scheme.

Abstract

In this study, a new chattering-free global second-order sliding mode load frequency controller (CGSOSMLFC) is proposed for multi-region linked power systems (MRLPS). Key achievements of this paper include: i) a new CGSOSMLFC is investigated utilizing only output variables; ii) a global steadiness of the MRLPS is ensured by eliminating the hitting phase in traditional sliding mode control (TSMC), and the undesirable high-frequency vacillation marvel in the control signal is efficiently lessened by utilizing the second-order sliding mode control technique. Firstly, a novel estimator is constructed to conjecture the immeasurable state variables of the MRLPS. Then, an estimator-based CGSOSMLFC is synthesized to force the states of the controlled plant into the anticipated switching surface at an instance time and attenuate the chattering phenomenon in the control indication. Additionally, the total MRLPS’s stability analysis is executed by applying the Lyapunov function theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI), confirming the practicability and reliability of the method. Lastly, simulation outcomes on a three-zone linked power system are furnished to authenticate the usefulness and advantages of the proposed technique.

Abstract

This research studies the shipboard microgrid (MG) scheme's frequency fluctuations problem contrary to the impulsiveness of renewable resources, load instabilities, and the uncertainty of the parameters in the ship MG plant. A shipboard MG system consists of some of the renewable energy resource s (RESs) such as photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine generator (WTG), battery energy storage system (BESS), ship diesel generator (DG), fuel cell (FC), aqua electrolyzer (AE), and loads. A new fuzzy proportional integral derivative (FPID) controller is established to attain the desired frequency stability for the shipboard MG system. Additionally, various scenarios are executed in this research to validate the robustness of the anticipated controller to various load disturbances, parameter changes of plant, and fluctuations of solar irradiance and wind speed. The numerical simulation results obtained in three scenarios compared with those of the conventional PID controller and the existing time-varying derivative fractional order PID (TVD-FOPID) controller in literatures to validate the high usefulness and applicability of the planned control strategy. In brief, the established load frequency controller (LFC) based on FPID technique can improve frequency deviation in shipboard MG plant effectively.
