Design and analysis of tilt integral derivative controller with filter for load frequency control of multi-area interconnected power systems

In this paper, a novel Tilt Integral Derivative controller with Filter (TIDF) is proposed for Load Frequency Control (LFC) of multi-area power systems. Initially, a two-area power system is considered and the parameters of the TIDF controller are optimized using Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm employing an Integral of Time multiplied Absolute Error (ITAE) criterion. The superiority of the proposed approach is demonstrated by comparing the results with some recently published heuristic approaches such as Firefly Algorithm (FA), Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) optimized PID controllers for the same interconnected power system. Investigations reveal that proposed TIDF controllers provide better dynamic response compared to PID controller in terms of minimum undershoots and settling times of frequency as well as tie-line power deviations following a disturbance. The proposed approach is also extended to two widely used three area test systems considering nonlinearities such as Generation Rate Constraint (GRC) and Governor Dead Band (GDB). To improve the performance of the system, a Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) is also considered and the performance of TIDF controller in presence of TCSC is investigated. It is observed that system performance improves with the inclusion of TCSC. Finally, sensitivity analysis is carried out to test the robustness of the proposed controller by varying the system parameters, operating condition and load pattern. It is observed that the proposed controllers are robust and perform satisfactorily with variations in operating condition, system parameters and load pattern.

Modeling and Simulation of FACTS Devices in Large Power System

In this paper steady-state modeling of Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) for power flow studies has been represented and discussed in details. In same manner firing angle model for TCSC is used to control active power flow of the line to which TCSC is installed. The proposed models take firing angle as state variable in power flow formulation. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed models Newton-Raphson method algorithm was developed to solve power flow equations in presence of TCSC. Case studies are carried out on 68-bus (western Algeria) system to demonstrate the performance of the proposed models.
