Since, power quality is measured by the consistency in frequency and power flow between control areas. Thus, in a power system operation and control,automatic generation control(AGC) plays a crucial role. In this paper, multi-area(Five areas: area 1, area 2, area 3, area 4 and area 5) reheat thermal power systems are considered with proportional-integral-derivative(PID) controller as a supplementary controller. Each area in the investigated power system is equipped with appropriate governor unit, turbine with reheater unit, generator and speed regulator unit. The PID controller parameters are optimized by considering nature bio-inspired firefly algorithm(FFA). The experimental results demonstrated the comparison of the proposed system performance(FFA-PID)with optimized PID controller based genetic algorithm(GAPID) and particle swarm optimization(PSO) technique(PSOPID) for the same investigated power system. The results proved the efficiency of employing the integral time absolute error(ITAE) cost function with one percent step load perturbation(1 % SLP) in area 1. The proposed system based FFA achieved the least settling time compared to using the GA or the PSO algorithms, while, it attained good results with respect to the peak overshoot/undershoot. In addition, the FFA performance is improved with the increased number of iterations which outperformed the other optimization algorithms based controller.展开更多

Both concerns can be dealt with by the introduction of the renewable sources to the existing power system. Thus, automatic generation control(AGC) with diverse renewable sources and a modified-cascaded controller are presented in the paper.Also, a new hybrid scheme of the improved teaching learning based optimization-differential evolution(hITLBO-DE) algorithm is applied for providing optimization of controller parameters. A study of the system with a technique such as TLBO applied to a proportional integral derivative(PID), integral double derivative(IDD) and PIDD is compared to hITLBO-DE tuned cascaded controller with dynamic load change.The suggested methodology has been extensively applied to a 2-area system with a diverse source power system with various operation time non-linearities such as dead-band of, generation rate constraint and reheat thermal units. The multi-area system with reheat thermal plants, hydel plants and a unit of a wind-diesel combination is tested with the cascaded controller scheme with a different controller setting for each area. The variation of the load is taken within 1% to 5% of the connected load and robustness analysis is shown by modifying essential factors simultaneously by± 30%. Finally, the proposed scheme of controller and optimization technique is also tested with a 5-equal area thermal system with non-linearities. The simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed controller and algorithm under a dynamically changing load.展开更多

To ensure high-precision measurements and performance sta-bility across diverse environments, stringent requirements are placed on the dynamic range of its receiving system. This paper provides a detailed exposition of a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based automatic gain control (AGC) design for the spaceborne scatterometer. Implemented on an FPGA, the algo-rithm harnesses its parallel processing capabilities and high-speed performance to monitor the received echo signals in real time. Employing an adaptive AGC algorithm, the system gene-rates gain control codes applicable to the intermediate fre-quency variable attenuator, enabling rapid and stable adjust-ment of signal amplitudes from the intermediate frequency amplifier to an optimal range. By adopting a purely digital pro-cessing approach, experimental results demonstrate that the AGC algorithm exhibits several advantages, including fast con-vergence, strong flexibility, high precision, and outstanding sta-bility. This innovative design lays a solid foundation for the high-precision measurements of the Ocean 4A scatterometer, with potential implications for the future of spaceborne microwave scatterometers.展开更多

文摘In high-renewable-energy power systems,the demand for fast-responding capabilities is growing.To address the limitations of conventional closed-loop frequency control,where the integral coefficient cannot dynamically adjust the frequency regulation command based on the state of charge(SoC)of energy storage units,this paper proposes a secondary frequency regulation control strategy based on variable integral coefficients for multiple energy storage units.First,a power-uniform controller is designed to ensure that thermal power units gradually take on more regulation power during the frequency regulation process.Next,a control framework based on variable integral coefficients is proposed within the secondary frequency regulation model,along with an objective function that simultaneously considers both Automatic Generation Control(AGC)command tracking performance and SoC recovery requirements of energy storage units.Finally,a gradient descent optimization method is used to dynamically adjust the gain of the energy storage integral controller,allowingmultiple energy storage units to respond in real-time to AGC instructions and SoC variations.Simulation results confirmthe effectiveness of the proposedmethod.Compared to traditional strategies,the proposed approach takes into account the SoCdiscrepancies amongmultiple energy storage units and the duration of system net power imbalances.It successfully implements secondary frequency regulation while achieving dynamic power allocation among the units.
文摘This study presents the use of an innovative population-based algorithm called the Sine Cosine Algorithm and its metaheuristic form,Quasi Oppositional Sine Cosine Algorithm,to automatic generation control of a multiple-source-based interconnected power system that consists of thermal,gas,and hydro power plants.The Proportional-Integral-Derivative controller,which is utilized for automated generation control in an interconnected hybrid power systemwith aDClink connecting two regions,has been tuned using the proposed optimization technique.An Electric Vehicle is taken into consideration only as an electrical load.The Quasi Oppositional Sine Cosinemethod’s performance and efficacy have been compared to the Sine Cosine Algorithm and optimal output feedback controller tuning performance.Applying the QOSCA optimization technique,which has only been shown in this study in the context of an LFC research thus far,makes this paper unique.The main objective has been used to assess and compare the dynamic performances of the recommended controller along with QOSCA optimisation technic.The resilience of the controller is examined using two different system parameters:B(frequency bias parameter)and R(governor speed regulation).The sensitivity analysis results demonstrate the high reliability of the QOSCA algorithm-based controller.Once optimal controller gains are established for nominal conditions,step load perturbations up to±10%&±25%in the nominal values of the systemparameters and operational load condition do not require adjustment of the controller.Ultimately,a scenario is examined whereby EVs are used for area 1,and a single PID controller is used rather than three.
文摘Communication plays a vital role in incorporating smartness into the interconnected power system.However,historical records prove that the data transfer has always been vulnerable to cyber-attacks.Unless these cyber-attacks are identified and cordoned off,they may lead to black-out and result in national security issues.This paper proposes an optimal two-stage Kalman filter(OTS-KF)for simultaneous state and cyber-attack estimation in automatic generation control(AGC)system.Biases/cyber-attacks are modeled as unknown inputs in the AGC dynamics.Five types of cyber-attacks,i.e.,false data injection(FDI),data replay attack,denial of service(DoS),scaling,and ramp attacks,are injected into the measurements and estimated using OTS-KF.As the load variations of each area are seldom available,OTS-KF is reformulated to estimate the states and outliers along with the load variations of the system.The proposed technique is validated on the benchmark two-area,three-area,and five-area power system models.The simulation results under various test conditions demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed filter.
