A novel cascade-loop controller for load frequency control of isolated microgrid via dandelion optimizer
In fast-growing isolated microgrids (IMGs), load frequency control (LFC) ensures optimal power quality for end users. Stochastic grids, notably with renewable energy resources (RESs), require robust and intelligently designed LFC schemes. Thus, this research presents a novel cascade-loop controller...

| description | In fast-growing isolated microgrids (IMGs), load frequency control (LFC) ensures optimal power quality for end users. Stochastic grids, notably with renewable energy resources (RESs), require robust and intelligently designed LFC schemes. Thus, this research presents a novel cascade-loop controller combining a fractional order-proportional derivative with a filter and a fractional order-proportional tilt integral derivative (FPDN-FPTID) to improve LFC for single and multi-area IMGs. Recent dandelion optimization adjusts FPDN-FPTID controller settings. Anti-windup keeps the controller out of the non-linear zone for low inertia IMGs. It concerns various sources' maximum generating rates. The two-area IMG model shows its potential and scalability. Extensive MATLAB/Simulink simulations show that the FPDN-FPTID controller outperforms numerous published controllers, either single or cascade-loop, in minimum error criteria, undershoots/ overshoots/settling times, frequency, and tie-line power deviation following load and RES variations. Finally, the sensitivity study indicates the suggested controller stabilizes the system despite ±25 % parameter changes. |
