Improved power flow management with proposed fuzzy integrated hybrid optimized fractional order cascaded proportional derivative filter (1+proportional integral) controller in hybrid microgrid systems

The primary goal of power management in a hybrid microgrid is to maintain the active power balance among renewable energy sources, energy storage system, and loads. In a HMG system, an ESS is required to reduce power fluctuations caused by the intermittent behavior of RESs. A bi-directional dc-dc converter has been used to connect a battery to the dc bus. This paper proposes an improved power management scheme where a novel controller named as hybrid fuzzy integrated fractional order cascaded proportional derivative filter (1+proportional integral) is designed and implemented in a voltage-controlled loop of the BDC. This controller is introduced in this work to achieve optimum power flow management improves voltage stabilization, and enhances the system dynamic response. A hybrid modified sine cosine algorithm-pattern search algorithm is implemented here to tune the parameters of the proposed controller. The extensive time-domain analysis and robustness studies of the proposed controller have been performed and compared with the other conventional control methods Variable solar irradiance, solar temperature, wind speed, and load are used to test the effectiveness of proposed power management strategy. The proposed power management scheme with several case studies has been performed in MATLAB/Simulink and also validated through a Real-time digital platform (Opal-RT). (c) 2022 ISA.
