This research paper proposed a resilient interval type-2 fuzzy tilt integral derivative (IT2-FTID) control strategy for obtaining frequency stability in the microgrid under various uncertainties. The model of an AC microgrid is developed with integrating multiple power-generating units based on renewable energy sources like solar and wind. These units, having capacities in the fractional megawatt range, form what is termed a microgrid. The microgrid's performance is influenced by significant load dynamics and uncertainties in wind speed and solar intensity, particularly affecting system frequency. To mitigate unwanted frequency fluctuations and maintain nominal frequency during various electrical disturbances, the resilient IT2-FTID controller operates as a secondary frequency control loop in the microgrid. Additionally, a novel Gradient-based Algorithm (GBA) with an effective objective function is applied to optimize the performance of the IT2-FTID controller. The effectiveness of the IT2-FTID approach is compared against basic type-1 fuzzy and conventional PID controllers, showing a frequency stability improvement of 111.76% and 205.88%, respectively. Finally, the convergence and optimization capabilities of the GBA are compared to Genetic Algorithm (GA) and standard Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for demonstrating superior performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100488,"journal":{"name":"e-Prime - Advances in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Energy","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100927"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143529860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, achieving seamless and stable operation in both V2G and V2H modes presents intricate control challenges. This research article investigates the development of robust control strategies for EV chargers that can effectively operate in V2G and V2H modes while incorporating grid-forming concepts. The cornerstone of these strategies is Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC), renowned for its ability to manage uncertainties and disturbances. ADRC serves as a critical solution for addressing the dynamic nature of V2G and V2H operations. Additionally, this article explores grid-forming concepts, particularly droop control, which plays a key role in V2H mode by enabling EV chargers to act as grid-forming sources. According to the case studies and simulations outcomes, this article demonstrates the effectiveness of ADRC-based control strategies, for both V2H and V2G operation modes. Finally, the Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) experiment is executed to validate the implementation feasibility of the V2G/V2H ADRC control strategy.

These methods are mainly designed to be run on general-purpose computers. Hence, during the development phase, hardware resources such as available memory and CPU frequency are not considered. Conversely, as low-cost architectures are designed to perform a specific task. Thus, they have limited hardware resources in terms of operating frequency and available memory. Nevertheless, they include essential properties such as autonomy, portability, and low-cost. The facial recognition approaches that will be implemented on hardware architectures will benefit from these properties. In particular, the low-cost will allow the use of facial recognition systems on a large-scale. To overcome this problem, in this work, a trade-off between accuracy and execution time was considered throughout the development phase. To this end, the proposed design methodology is based on the use an image descriptor based on integer computation, as embedded processors are generally inadequate for floating-point calculations. In light of this, the well-known LBP descriptor will be utilized to extract facial features, and specially, we will use the technique of centrally overlapped blocks (CoB) which consists of combining the centers of the distinct blocks in order to preserve the spatial distribution of pixels. Indeed, the LBP descriptor has undergone extensive testing in general-purpose computers, where it has demonstrated its effectiveness.
