Abstract

Power grids are inherently vulnerable to many uncertainties. All power networks are prone to instability because of the uncertainties inherent in the operation of power systems. Rotor-angle instability is a challenging issue, and if not properly managed, could give rise to cascading failures and even blackouts. This paper addresses the generator excitation system’s state feedback sliding mode control (SMC). The global system is divided into multiple subsystems to achieve decentralized control. A disturbance is defined as the influence of the system as a whole on a specific subsystem. The state-feedback controller is to be designed taking into account the disturbance attenuation level, ensuring the closed-loop system's asymptotic stability. The SMC designing algorithm is described; it is based on precisely determining the sliding surface utilizing the invariant-set (ellipsoid) technique. The control structure ensures that mismatched disturbances in power systems have little impact on the system trajectory in the sliding mode. Moreover, the proposed controllers are represented in this paper using linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and the Lyapunov theory approach. Finally, a multi-machine model is implemented to demonstrate the success of the suggested approach, and a comparison between the proposed SMC and the conventional one demonstrates its superiority.

Abstract

Wind energy is an effective renewable energy source. However, when it comes to harnessing its power because of its variability and nonlinearity, traditional controllers have limitations. This work proposes the design of two nonlinear maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods to track the maximum power point for stochastic wind in the below-rated wind speed zone. These methods are the sliding mode controller (SMC) and the double integral sliding mode controller (DISMC). A benchmark model of a 4.8 MW wind turbine (WT) is subjected to random wind profiles in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The equilibrium optimizer (EO) is used here and contrasted with particle swarm optimization (PSO) and grey wolf optimizer to achieve a good design of the controller in the sliding plane and change the switching control in sliding mode. The proposed optimization methodology and DISMC improved the smoothening of the control of angular speed, and specifically, the EO outperformed the rest of the techniques.
