This study focuses on the control of stable second-order plus time delay (SOPTD) plants incorporating a zero, by employing a modified Smith predictor structure. A forward path PID controller and a PID controller with a lead/lag filter in the feedback path contribute to the proposed control system. The PID controller determines the set-point tracking. The load disturbance rejection is influenced by both the PID and lead/lag filter. Each controller is simply designed using pole placement, while considering a tuning parameter to make a balance between performance and robustness. Filtering of the set-point signal is implemented to enhance its response. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed technique, the study involves examining a SOPTD plant and either a negative or a positive zero. Simulation and comparison analysis show that the proposed controller is appropriate for industrial usage since it quickly tracks the set-point and efficiently rejects disturbances, resulting in a smooth control signal. Furthermore, robustness tests reveal its satisfactory degree of robustness against model parameter uncertainties.

Integrating renewable energy sources into power grids presents a set of challenges in terms of ensuring stability and optimizing power flow. VSCs are essential for effectively managing power flow between renewable sources and the grid. The PI controller is vital in maintaining voltage levels and ensuring stable operation. Conventional PI controller tuning methods commonly rely on heuristic approaches, which might only partially optimize performance across various operational conditions. In order to tackle this issue, PSO is utilized to fine-tune the parameters of the PI controller automatically. This results in a significant reduction in system deviations and a notable improvement in efficiency, even when faced with fluctuating wind and solar conditions. The simulation results conducted in MATLAB/Simulink confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach in enhancing system stability and reducing response times. The PI controller optimized using PSO showcases exceptional adaptability to varying environmental and grid conditions, resulting in minimized power fluctuations and improved grid reliability.
