Abstract
Presently, the integration of renewable energy into existing power system to cater increasing power needs is a growing trend. Wind energy is one of the prominent utilized renewable sources. However, the generation level of integrated wind energy significantly affects the frequency characteristics of entire system. Further, if the control scheme of wind systems are not properly working then this situation may deteriorate the frequency characteristics of whole system. Therefore, it is indispensable to tune the parameters of controllers of existing and wind systems in proper coordination so as to improve the frequency characteristics of the system. Consequently, in this work, a coordinated tuning of parameters of controllers to improve frequency characteristics of a multi-area interconnected thermal system in presence of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind generation is presented. A widely used two-area non-reheat thermal interconnected system is simulated having its one area integrated with DFIG based wind generation. The parameters of controllers of thermal and wind systems are coordinately tuned using symbiotic organisms search (SOS) algorithm. Different design objectives are framed to achieve improved frequency characteristics of entire system. The considered objectives are combined together by proper assignment of weights using analytic hierarchy process to form a single objective function. Several test cases with diverse disturbances under different wind penetration levels are conducted to test the performance of system with SOS based controllers. To further assess the effectiveness of proposed controllers, other controllers using differential evolution (DE), elephant herding optimization (EHO), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) are also designed and comparatively tested under the considered cases.
