Abstract

In this study, we utilize the salp swarm algorithm (SSA) to optimize proportional integral derivative (PID) controller gains for load frequency control (LFC) in a multi-area hybrid renewable nonlinear power system. Incorporating generation rate constraints and dead-bands into the governor model, we examine system nonlinearities. Performance evaluation employs both single- and multi-objective functions, with actual sun irradiation data validating SSA-PID controllers' efficacy in managing renewable energy source uncertainties. Comparing with alternative optimization techniques across various operational scenarios reveals the SSA-PID controller's 15% improvement in dynamic response time. The findings suggest SSA enhances LFC dynamic response in hybrid renewable power systems, with potential generalizability. These results underscore SSA's utility in addressing system complexities, offering implications for improved stability and efficiency across renewable energy integration scenarios.

Abstract

This innovative project aims to increase the effectiveness and user experience of solar panel systems by introducing a state-of-the-art dust and speck removal system. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, the system demonstrates a remarkable 32% increase in power output compared to dirty solar panels. The approach is characterized by its reliance on the universe as the system controller, reducing the need for manual intervention and minimizing the workforce required for panel cleaning. The proposed timed system utilizes water and wipers, facilitated by internet of things (IoT) technology, microcontrollers, and sensor modules for efficient and automated operation. An Android application provides user control and notifications about ongoing processes. The system’s adaptability for various settings is emphasized, offering a portable solution. The smart IoT based automatic solar panel cleaning ensures reliable performance, underscoring the project’s commitment to improve scalability, cost-efficiency, performance, integrity, and consistency.
