Velocity Pausing Particle Swarm Optimization based PID Controller Design for Isolated AC Microgrid

The work addresses PID control design based on the velocity-pausing particle swarm optimization (VPPSO) technique. The suggested control design is utilized to develop a load frequency control (LFC) approach for an isolated microgrid (MG) with heat-pumps (HPs) and electric-vehicles (EVs). The efficiency and effectiveness of suggested control design are assessed when there are randomized solar power and load-demand disturbances. Furthermore, the robustness and effectiveness of suggested control schemes are evaluated under uncertainty in system parameters and different EVs & HPs controller’s operating time-scheduling situations. The simulation results demonstrated the efficiency and usefulness of the recommended VPPSO-PID control strategy under several practical situations.
