Super capacitor and SSSC-based coordinated strategy for performance improvement of diverse source interconnected power system

Abstract

In this work, the dynamical behavior of the dual area thermal-hydro-wind (DATHW) model of the interconnected power system (IPS) is investigated. For analysis, the area-1 of the DATHW system is laid with a disturbance in step load (SLD) of 10%. The investigation is carried out on the DATHW system under the supervision of the fractional order proportional-integral-derivative-filter (FOPIDN) controller optimized with the water cycle algorithm (WCA). However, the dominance of FOPIDN in regulating the DATHW system performance deviations is validated by other regulators. To get the research near practicality, the DATHW system is deliberated with communication time delays (CTDs). The CTDs is the inherit nature of the communication peripherals that are employed in the IPS network for providing the data exchange among various devices. Further, the supplementary control approach of super capacitors (SC) and static synchronous series compensators (SSSC) is adopted with the DATHW system for performance improvement. The supplementary control is implemented by integrating the SC in the control areas and the SSSC with the tie-line. Finally, we conducted the sensitivity test to reveal the efficacy of the suggested controller mechanism in this work.
