Load Frequency Control in Microgrids Based on a Stochastic Noninteger Controller

Abstract: In this paper, an adaptive multiobjective fractional-order fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative controller is proposed for the load frequency control (LFC) of islanded microgrids (MGs), while benefiting from the assets of electric vehicles (EVs) in this respect. Although the use of battery energy storage systems (BESS) can solve the unbalance effects between the load and supply of an isolated MG, their high cost and tendency toward degradation are restrictive factors, which call for the use of alternative power balancing options. In recent years, the concept of utilizing the BESSs of EVs, also known as vehicle-to-grid (V2G) concept, for frequency support of MGs has attracted a lot of attention. In order to allow the V2G controller operate optimally under a wide range of operation conditions caused by the intermittent behavior of renewable energy resources, a new multiobjective fractional-order control strategy for the EVs in V2G scenarios is proposed in this paper. Moreover, since the performance of the controller depends on its parameters, optimization of these parameters can play a significant role in promoting the output performance of the LFC control; hence, a modified black hole optimization algorithm is utilized for the adaptive tuning of the noninteger fuzzy PID controller coefficients. The performance of the proposed LFC is evaluated by using real world wind and solar radiation data. Finally, the extensive studies and hardware-in-the-loop simulations are presented to prove that the proposed controller tracks frequency with lower deviation and fluctuation and is more robust in comparison with the prior-art controllers used in all the case studies.

Secondary Load Frequency Control of Time-Delay Stand-Alone Microgrids With Electric Vehicles

Abstract: This study utilizes a new optimal model-free controller based on a sliding mode technique to make a balance between load demands and power generations in the time-delay stand-alone microgrid system with electric vehicles. Forasmuch as the performance of the proposed controller is related to its parameter values, a new modified optimization algorithm, entitled the Black Hole optimization search algorithm, is applied to tune the coefficients of the proposed model-free technique. Finally, in order to validate the feasibility of the suggested approach under load disturbances, detailed simulation, and hardware-in-the-loop experimental results are shown.

Shipboard Microgrids: A Novel Approach to Load Frequency Control

Abstract: Due to the fast development of renewable energy systems and the severe limitations enforced by the marine pollution protocol, the utilizing of wind turbines (WTs), solar generation, sea wave energy (SWE), and energy storage systems (ESS) in marine vessel power systems have been attracting a lot of attention. Hence, a marine vessel power system with photovoltaic, WT, SWE, and ESS can be considered as a specific mobile islanded microgrid. Consequently, the main target of this paper is to design a new optimal fractional order fuzzy PD+I load frequency controller (LFC) for islanded microgrids in a ship power system. Since the performance of the controller depends on its parameters, the optimization of these coefficients can play a significant role in improving the output performance of the LFC control. Accordingly, a modified black hole optimization algorithm is utilized for the adaptive tuning of the coefficients of noninteger fuzzy PD+I controller. The performance of the shipboard microgrid is evaluated by utilizing real-world wind power fluctuation and solar radiation data. Finally, the extensive studies and hardware-in-the-loop simulations are applied to prove that the proposed controller can track the reference frequency with lower deviation as well as it is more robust in comparison with the prior-art controllers utilized in the case studies.

Adaptive Control

Abstract: This book, written by two major figures in adaptive control, provides a wealth of material for researchers, practitioners, and students. While some researchers in adaptive control may note the absence of a particular topic, the book‘s scope represents a high-gain instrument. It can be used by designers of control systems to enhance their work through the information on many new theoretical developments, and can be used by mathematical control theory specialists to adapt their research to practical needs. The book is strongly recommended to anyone interested in adaptive control.

A Survey on Smart Grid CommunicationInfrastructures: Motivations, Requirements andChallenges

Abstract: A communication infrastructure is an essential part to the success of the emerging smart grid. A scalable and pervasive communication infrastructure is crucial in both construction and operation of a smart grid. In this paper, we present the background and motivation of communication infrastructures in smart grid systems. We also summarize major requirements that smart grid communications must meet. From the experience of several industrial trials on smart grid with communication infrastructures, we expect that the traditional carbon fuel based power plants can cooperate with emerging distributed renewable energy such as wind, solar, etc, to reduce the carbon fuel consumption and consequent green house gas such as carbon dioxide emission. The consumers can minimize their expense on energy by adjusting their intelligent home appliance operations to avoid the peak hours and utilize the renewable energy instead. We further explore the challenges for a communication infrastructure as the part of a complex smart grid system. Since a smart grid system might have over millions of consumers and devices, the demand of its reliability and security is extremely critical. Through a communication infrastructure, a smart grid can improve power reliability and quality to eliminate electricity blackout. Security is a challenging issue since the on-going smart grid systems facing increasing vulnerabilities as more and more automation, remote monitoring/controlling and supervision entities are interconnected.

Fuzzy sets and systems

Abstract: The notion of fuzziness as defined in this paper relates to situations in which the source of imprecision is not a random variable or a stochastic process, but rather a class or classes which do not possess sharply defined boundaries, e.g., the “class of bald men,” or the “class of numbers which are much greater than 10,” or the “class of adaptive systems,” etc. A basic concept which makes it possible to treat fuzziness in a quantitative manner is that of a fuzzy set, that is, a class in which there may be grades of membership intermediate between full membership and non-membership. Thus, a fuzzy set is characterized by a membership function which assigns to each object its grade of membership (a number lying between 0 and 1) in the fuzzy set. After a review of some of the relevant properties of fuzzy sets, the notions of a fuzzy system and a fuzzy class of systems are introduced and briefly analyzed. The paper closes with a section dealing with optimization under fuzzy constraints in which an approach to...
