Solution of load frequency control through Jaya technique with unified power flow controller and redox flow battery

Abstract

This paper proposes the initial strategy of designing two degree of freedom proportional integral derivative (2DOF-PID) made load frequency control (LFC) action optimized using Jaya optimization algorithm for a hydro-hydro system. At first, the PID optimized through Jaya is used for hydro-dominated system, and the comparative analysis of all possible error definitions are carried out to show the benefits of selecting integral time absolute error (ITAE) for LFC. Then, 2DOF-PID is designed for the hydro governing system, and its performance is compared with other designs to show the efficacy of the present LFC about computed error values gain of the various models via graphical LFC. The results obtained through simulations are promising but oscillatory with greater settling time. Hence, the proposed controller is retuned by considering the unified power flow control (UPFC) in arrangement with the tie-line and redox flow battery (RFB) units in area-2, and it is further seen that the outcomes of the application show the prevalence of the proposed work.
