Abstract

For power quality enhancement, voltage, frequency, and power flow between control areas in an interconnected power system are required to be maintained. Hence, the voltage and frequency should be continuously controlled to maintain the balance of real and reactive power during load variation. Integration of renewable energy sources (RES) in the power system leads to inertia losses and mismatches between load demand and generation capacity; hence, the load frequency controller should overcome these challenges.
In this paper, a Dandelion optimizer (DO)-based tilted-integral-derivative (TID) controller is introduced for load frequency control (LFC) of a single-area power system considering renwables pentration. A single-area power system with both solar and wind power plants as renewables and reheat-thermal, hydraulic, and gas power plants as conventional power plants is modeled using the Matlab toolbox. The controller-based DO optmizer is tested under different loading variations to verify its robustness. The sperm swarm and black widow optimization algorithms are compared with the introduced algorithm to verify its superior dynamic responses for loading variation.
