Hybrid Cuckoo search algorithm is a combination of the Cuckoo search algorithm and Teaching-learning-based optimization, where the learner phase of TLBO is added to improve performance of Cuckoo eggs. The proposed method has been applied for solving three tested cases of Multi-area economic dispatch problem. The objective of this problem is to minimize a total generation cost while satisfying generator operational constraints and tie- line constraints. The proposed method has been compared with the conventional Cuckoo search algorithm and Teaching-learning-based optimization to obtain its effectiveness.

This Microgrid (MG) includes a diesel backup generator along with a number of Distributed Energy Resources (DES): Wind Turbine Generator (WTG), Photovoltaic System (PV), Fly- Wheel Energy Storage system (FESS), and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Controlling the frequency deviation is posing a great challenge in stand-alone mode due to the mismatch between load demand and generation. Five different study cases were modelled in Matlab to investigate the performance and stability of the power system. Furthermore, two PD Fuzzy logic control plus Integral (PDFLC+I) act as supplementary controller were incorporated locally with diesel and storage elements in order to improve the robustness and safety of the system. Fuzzy rule and integral parameters were chosen to achieve fast response and small power and frequency deviation throughout step change in load profile. Classical PID controller was introduced for comparison purposes. The potential of using responsive charging electric vehicles (EVs) under three scenarios as a form of primary response was investigated. Simulation results showed that the decentralized controller eliminates the fluctuation effect of the wind turbine and stabilizes the system frequency. EVs can play important role in system primary frequency response.","PeriodicalId":446482,"journal":{"name":"2015 50th International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131569890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In real-time, these comparators are responsible for analyzing current magnitude in upstream and downstream network directions; identify faults; and assess the recloser-fuse coordination status based on critical margins identified by the protection methodology. Once a mis-coordination is detected, some distributed generation units are strategically disconnected from the distribution network by gate turn-off thyristors. As a result of this action, short-circuit current is reduced to a satisfactory level, restoring the coordination between recloser and fuses in the grid. The proposed methodology has been implemented in a 12.47-kV grid with interconnection of 10 MW and 15 MW wind farms. Simulations have been carried out in ATP/EMTP. Significantly, the approach contributes to the adequacy and modernization of distribution systems with considerable tendency of distributed generation insertion.","PeriodicalId":446482,"journal":{"name":"2015 50th International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC)","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132104330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
