A New Control Technique for Regulating the Synchronous Generator Frequency Based on OFSTPID

Abstract

This paper addressed the analysis, and control for tracking the active power flow (APF) from the synchronous generator (SG). The proposed control relies on the real concept of interaction between (active/reactive) and (governor/exciter voltage). The proposed system is tested by disturbance in active load by increasing or decreasing in 0.1pu. To address this disturbance, traditional controllers such as PID may not suffice for optimal performance. Thus, the Self-Tuning Controller (FST) emerges as a promising solution for PID controllers. Utilizing an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), PID parameters can be effectively tuned. As a result, two control units of the Self-Tuning PID Controller (OFSTPID) are employed for active and reactive power control loops. This approach enhances active Power Filter (APF) satisfaction while meeting the constant demand for reactive power, thereby enhancing the reliability and quality of the power system. Comparative analysis against relevant literature demonstrates that this methodology leads to improved load frequency Control (LFC) performance and effective compensation for reactive power.
