A PSO Based PIDF Controller for Multiarea Multisource System Incorporating Dish Stirling Solar System

Abstract

The comprehensive evaluation of Automatic Generation Control (AGC) scheme is performed for a multi-area multisource model with implementation of a proportional integral derivative controller with derivative Filter (PIDF). Optimal parameters of the controller are extracted by applying stochastic population motivated Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique. The study of Dish Stirling Solar Thermal System (DSTS) is utilized in the proposed three area system which highlights the significance of renewable energy in the AGC scheme. Appropriate generation rate constraints are considered for thermal and hydro plants. Better tie line power on load perturbation and dynamic response of frequency is achieved with PIDF by regulating the real power output of the generators. Various conventional controllers like proportional integral (PI) and proportional integral derivative (PID) are employed in the multi-area system and the performances are compared to the output of the designed PIDF controller.
