    Introduction. In an electrical power system, the output of the synchronous generators varies due to disturbances or sudden load changes. These variations in output severely affect power system stability and power quality. The synchronous generator is equipped with an automatic voltage regulator to maintain its terminal voltage at rated voltage. Several control techniques utilized to improve the response of the automatic voltage regulator system, however, proportional integral derivative (PID) controller is the most frequently used controller but its parameters require optimization. Novelty. In this paper, the chaotic sequence based on the logistic map is hybridized with particle swarm optimization to find the optimal parameters of the PID for the automatic voltage regulator system. The logistic map chaotic sequence-based initialization and global best selection enable the algorithm to escape from local minima stagnation and improve its convergence rate resulting in best optimal parameters. Purpose. The main objective of the proposed approach is to improve the transient response of the automatic voltage regulator system by minimizing the maximum overshoot, settling time, rise time, and peak time values of the terminal voltage, and eliminating the steady-state error. Methods. In the process of parameter tuning, the Chaotic particle swarm optimization technique was run several times through the proposed hybrid objective function, which accommodates the advantages of the two most commonly used objective functions with a minimum number of iterations, and an optimal PID gain value was found. The proposed algorithm is compared with current metaheuristic algorithms including conventional particle swarm optimization, improved kidney algorithm, and others. Results. For performance evaluation, the characteristics of the integral of time multiplied squared error and Zwe-Lee Gaing objective functions are combined. Furthermore, the time-domain analysis, frequency-domain analysis, and robustness analysis are carried out to show the better performance of the proposed algorithm. The result shows that automatic voltage regulator tuned with the chaotic particle swarm optimization based PID yield improvement in overshoot, settling time, and function value of 14.41 %, 37.91 %, 1.73 % over recently proposed IKA, and 43.55 %, 44.5 %, 16.67 % over conventional particle swarm optimization algorithms. The improvement in transient response further improves the automatic voltage regulator system stability for electrical power systems.Вступ.

    This work focuses on the design of modern power system controllers for automatic voltage regulators (AVR) and the applications of machine learning (ML) algorithms to correctly classify the stability of the IEEE 14 bus system. The LQG controller performs the best time domain characteristics compared to PID and LQG, while the sensor and amplifier gain is changed in a dynamic passion. After that, the IEEE 14 bus system is modeled, and contingency scenarios are simulated in the System Modelica Dymola environment. Application of the Monte Carlo principle with modified Poissons probability distribution principle is reviewed from the literature that reduces the total contingency from 1000k to 20k. The damping ratio of the contingency is then extracted, pre-processed, and fed to ML algorithms, such as logistic regression, support vector machine, decision trees, random forests, Naive Bayes, and k-nearest neighbor. A neural network (NN) of one, two, three, five, seven, and ten hidden layers with 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% data size is considered to observe and compare the prediction time, accuracy, precision, and recall value. At lower data size, 25%, in the neural network with two-hidden layers and a single hidden layer, the accuracy becomes 95.70% and 97.38%, respectively. Increasing the hidden layer of NN beyond a second does not increase the overall score and takes a much longer prediction time; thus could be discarded for similar analysis. Moreover, when five, seven, and ten hidden layers are used, the F1 score reduces. However, in practical scenarios, where the data set contains more features and a variety of classes, higher data size is required for NN for proper training. This research will provide more insight into the damping ratio-based system stability prediction with traditional ML algorithms and neural networks.Comment: Masters Thesis Dissertatio

    Small-signal stability analysis of hybrid power system with quasi-oppositional sine cosine algorithm optimized fractional order PID controller

    Get PDF
    This article deals with the frequency instability problem of a hybrid energy power system (HEPS) coordinated with reheat thermal power plant. A stochastic optimization method called a sine-cosine algorithm (SCA) is, initially, applied for optimum tuning of fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPI-D) controller gains to balance the power generation and load profile. To accelerate the convergence mobility and escape the solutions from the local optimal level, quasi-oppositional based learning (Q-OBL) is integrated with SCA, which results in QOSCA. In this work, the PID-controller's derivative term is placed in the feedback path to avoid the set-point kick problem. A comparative assessment of the energy-storing devices is shown for analyzing the performances of the same in HEPS. The qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the results shows the best performance with the proposed QOSCA: FOPI-D controller compared to SCA-, grey wolf optimizer (GWO), and hyper-spherical search (HSS) optimized FOPI-D controller. It is also seen from the results that the proposed QOSCA: FOPI-D controller has satisfactory disturbance rejection ability and shows robust performance against parametric uncertainties and random load perturbation. The efficacy of the designed controller is confirmed by considering generation rate constraint, governor dead-band, and boiler dynamics effects

    State feedback control for a PM hub motor based on gray Wolf optimization algorithm

    Full text link
    © 1986-2012 IEEE. This paper presents an optimal control strategy for a permanent-magnet synchronous hub motor (PMSHM) drive using the state feedback control method plus the gray wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm. First, the linearized PMSHM mathematical model is obtained by voltage feedforward compensation. Second, to acquire satisfactory dynamics of speed response and zero d-axis current, the discretized state-space model of the PMSHM is augmented with the integral of rotor speed error and integral of d-axis current error. Then, the GWO algorithm is employed to acquire the weighting matrices Q and R in linear quadratic regulator optimization process. Moreover, a penalty term is introduced to the fitness index to suppress overshoots effectively. Finally, comparisons among the GWO-based state feedback controller (SFC) with and without the penalty term, the conventional SFC, and the genetic algorithm enhanced proportional-integral controllers are conducted in both simulations and experiments. The comparison results show the superiority of the proposed SFC with the penalty term in fast response

    The nonlinear Extended State Observer (ESO) is a novel observer for a class of nonlinear control system. However, the non-smooth structure of the nonlinear ESO makes it difficult to measure the stability. In this paper, the stability problem of the nonlinear ESO is considered. The Describing Function (DF) method is adopted to analyze the stability of high-order nonlinear ESOs. The main result of the paper shows the existence of the self-oscillation and a sufficient stability condition for high-order nonlinear ESOs. Based on the analysis results, we give a simple and fast parameter tuning method for the nonlinear ESO and the active disturbance rejection control (ADRC). Realistic application simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed parameter tuning method

    System identification and adaptive current balancing ON/OFF control of DC-DC switch mode power converter

    PhD ThesisReliability becomes more and more important in industrial application of Switch Mode Power Converters (SMPCs). A poorly performing power supply in a power system can influence its operation and potentially compromise the entire system performance in terms of efficiency. To maintain a high reliability, high performance SMPC effective control is necessary for regulating the output of the SMPC system. However, an uncertainty is a key factor in SMPC operation. For example, parameter variations can be caused by environmental effects such as temperature, pressure and humidity. Usually, fixed controllers cannot respond optimally and generate an effective signal to compensate the output error caused by time varying parameter changes. Therefore, the stability is potentially compromised in this case. To resolve this problem, increasing interest has been shown in employing online system identification techniques to estimate the parameter values in real time. Moreover, the control scheme applied after system identification is often called “adaptive control” due to the control signal selfadapting to the parameter variation by receiving the information from the system identification process. In system identification, the Recursive Least Square (RLS) algorithm has been widely used because it is well understood and easy to implement. However, despite the popularity of RLS, the high computational cost and slow convergence speed are the main restrictions for use in SMPC applications. For this reason, this research presents an alternative algorithm to RLS; Fast Affline Projection (FAP). Detailed mathematical analysis proves the superior computational efficiency of this algorithm. Moreover, simulation and experiment result verify this unique adaptive algorithm has improved performance in terms of computational cost and convergence speed compared with the conventional RLS methods. Finally, a novel adaptive control scheme is designed for optimal control of a DC-DC buck converter during transient periods. By applying the proposed adaptive algorithm, the control signal can be successfully employed to change the ON/OFF state of the power transistor in the DC-DC buck converter to improve the dynamic behaviour. Simulation and experiment result show the proposed adaptive control scheme significantly improves the transient response of the buck converter, particularly during an abrupt load change conditio
