Abstract
This paper presents a new optimization tool-based population parameter called Harris hawks optimizer (HHO) and its application study to fine-tune the gains of well-designed proportional-derivative proportional-integral (PD-PI) cascade control to suppress the load frequency control (LFC) issues. The HHO based PID and PD-PI controllers are broadly implemented at two models with many circumstances for each model to ensure the effectiveness and the robustness of the proposed scheme at a high load disturbance, nonlinearity, and some critical parameters associated with the interconnected power system. First, a two-area non-reheat power plant is implemented, and the gains of PID and PD-PI controllers are adjusted using the proposed algorithm. In order to introduce extra realistic challenges, the governor-dead band is also modeled to ensure the robustness of the HHO/PD-PI in handling nonlinearity properties. Furthermore, to guarantee the suitability of the proposed HHO/PD-PI, a model with a mixture of power plants is carried out with and without the HVDC link, which is raised for the practical problems of LFC. Simulation results proved that; the proposed techniques HHO/PID and HHO/PD-PI provide superior performance compared to other reported strategies such as DE/PID, TLBO/PID, IGWO/PID, multi-objective/PID, and TLBO/2DOF-PID controllers. Finally, the dynamic investigation has also been completed using the random load pattern in system model-2, which shows the superior performance of HHO/PID and HHO/PD-PI schemes.
