Abstract

• A novel Golden Eagle optimization algorithm (GEOA) is proposed. • GEOA is used to improve the Transient and Dynamics stability of wind farm. • Transient and Dynamics stability of grid-tied PMSG-VSWT is investigated during symmetrical, unsymmetrical faults and Stochastics wind variation at that site. • The results of GEOA are compared with the results of NR, PSO and GOA. • The results shown that the GEOA is robust and competitive. Wind power installations are globally established thoroughly, resulting in significant electrical power penetration into power grids. Consequently, tremendous efforts are expended to improvise the performance of the grid-connected Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator driven by a Variable-Speed Wind Turbine (PMSG-VSWT). In this work, eight cascaded Proportional Integral (PI) controllers in the machine side and grid side converters are optimally tuned by the golden eagle optimization algorithm with the purpose of enhancing the dynamics and transient stability performances of the grid connected PMSG-VSWT.The integration of the square error criterion was utilised as a fitness function in the optimization process, which was processed using the simulation-based optimization technique. The proposed control technique's efficacy was compared to various optimal PI controllers under symmetrical and unsymmetrical fault conditions. This study also employed the measured real-time events collected at the Coimbatore wind farm in Tamil Nadu (India) to produce realistic results and aid in the pursuit of higher performance. The wind farm modelling and simulation were processed using the DIgSILENT power factory/MATLAB Simulink environment and was utilized to test the proposed control approach's achievability. Finally, the study demonstrates that the golden eagle optimization technique improves the wind farm's performance when compared to observed events and other techniques.
