Abstract

Modeling, simulation, and performance analysis of an isolated hybrid power system (IHPS) consisting of solar thermal power plant, diesel engine generator (DEG), and wind turbine generator (WTG) are done in this paper. Performance of the studied IHPS model has been studied under two different input conditions, viz. (a) step change in load disturbance and wind perturbation and (b) random change in load disturbance and solar and wind perturbation. For better frequency stabilization of the system, proportional–integral–derivative (PID), integral–tilt–derivative (I-TD), and tilt–integral–derivative (TID) controllers are used (one at a time) for controlling governor of the DEG and pitch of the WTG. To obtain better performance for the studied IHPS model, the controller gains are tuned by using quasi-oppositional-based whale optimization algorithm. A comparative dynamic response of frequency deviation profile has been carried out under individual presence of PID, I-TD, and TID controllers. The transient responses of the system pertaining to step and random changes in the load disturbance and solar and wind perturbation are plotted and analyzed. It is revealed from this work that the performance of the proposed TID controller is better than the other controllers for this specific application.
