Participation of Renewable Energy Sources in the Frequency Regulation Issues of a Five-Area Hybrid Power System Utilizing a Sine Cosine-Adopted African Vulture Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

In this article, a novel methodology is proposed by utilizing a technique which, in light of the change in the African vulture optimization known as Sine Cosine, adopted an African vulture optimization algorithm (SCaAVOA)-based tilt integral derivative (TID) regulator for the load frequency control (LFC) of a five-area power system with multi-type generations. At first, the execution of the Sine Cosine-adopted calculation is tried by contrasting it with the standard AVOA calculation while considering different standard benchmark functions. To demonstrate the superiority of the proposed SCaAVOA algorithm, the results are contrasted using different standard approaches. In the next stage, the proposed method is used in a five-area thermal power system and is likewise applied to a five-area, ten-unit system comprising different conventional sources as well as some renewable energy sources. The performance analysis of the planned regulator is completed for various system boundaries and loading conditions. It is seen that the said regulator is more viable in comparison to the other standard controllers.
