Abstract

Power system control and stability have been an area with different and continuous challenges in order to reach the desired operation that satisfies consumers and suppliers. To accomplish the purpose of stable operation in power systems, different loops have been equipped to control different parameters. For example, Load Frequency Control (LFC) is introduced to maintain the frequency at or near its nominal values, this loop is also responsible for maintaining the interchanged power between control areas interconnected via tie-lines at scheduled values. Other loops are also employed within power systems such as the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR). This thesis focuses on the problem of frequency deviation in power systems and proposes different solutions based on different theories. The proposed methods are implemented in two different power systems namely: unequal two-area interconnected thermal power system and the simplified Great Britain (GB) power system. Artificial intelligence-based controllers have recently dominated the field of control engineering as they are practicable with relatively low solution costs, this is in addition to providing a stable, reliable and robust dynamic performance of the controlled plant. They professionally can handle different technical issues resulting from nonlinearities and uncertainties. In order to achieve the best possible control and dynamic system behaviour, a soft computing technique based on the Bees Algorithm (BA) is suggested for tuning the parameters of the proposed controllers for LFC purposes. Fuzzy PID controller with filtered derivative action (Fuzzy PIDF) optimized by the BA is designed and implemented to improve the frequency performance in the two different systems under study during and after load disturbance. Further, three different fuzzy control configurations that offer higher reliability, namely Fuzzy Cascade PI − PD, Fuzzy PI plus Fuzzy PD, and Fuzzy (PI + PD), optimized by the BA have also been implemented in the two-area interconnected power system. The robustness of these fuzzy configurations has been evidenced against parametric uncertainties of the controlled power systems Sliding Mode Control (SMC) design, modelling and implementation have also been conducted for LFC in the investigated systems where the parameters are tuned by the BA. The mathematical model design of the SMC is derived based on the parameters of the testbed systems. The robustness analysis of the proposed SMC against the controlled systems’ parametric uncertainties has been carried out considering different scenarios. Furthermore, to authenticate the excellence of the proposed controllers, a comparative study is carried out based on the obtained results and those from previously introduced works based on classical PID tuned by the Losi Map-Based Chaotic Optimization Algorithm (LCOA), Fuzzy PID Optimized by Teaching Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO)
