Abstract
The wind energy characteristics at the site not only indicate the amount of energy obtained from wind energy, but it also depends on the control strategy implemented on the wind energy conversion system. This study proposes an application of Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) for tuning the classical (PI) controller parameters for the permanent magnet synchronous generator driven by wind energy system, to such an extent that the most maximum power point tracking can be acknowledged along with an improved fault ride-through capability. The optimized PI-controller parameters based ALO improving the low voltage ride through (LVRT) performance and the maximum power point tracking. ALO is implemented to the classical PI-controller on the machine side converter system, and grid side converter, for maximum power extraction from PMSG and enhancing LVRT. Four cases were considered in this paper, to examine the feasibility of the proposed ALO-PI controller. The suggested cases are system running at normal condition, a step-change in wind speed, wind speed variation at normal grid condition, and three-phase fault. A significant improvement in the system dynamic performance when applying the ALO-PI controller is compared with classical PI-controller.
