Automatic Load Frequency Control of Renewable Energy Integrated Hybrid Power System

Frequency aberration, power quality, and system instability may be caused by the general perception of Renewable Energy (RE). To control the frequency with the tolerable limit, load frequency control is being performed. Automatic Load Frequency Control (ALFC) must be provided with a proper controller. Ziegler-Nichols method is being used to tune the parameters of the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller for Load Frequency Control of Hybrid Power System (HPS). Traditional PID controllers are capable of handling a larger varieties of rapid changes in load variations in renewable energy hybrid power systems. This work considers the HPS of 2000 MW power system including RE resources. The OP4510 is utilized for hardware-in-loop (HIL) simulation to test the accomplished controller's real-time applicability. The MATLAB simulation and the Real-Time simulator provide identical results.
