Özet

The mismatch between power generation and load demand causes unwanted fluctuations in frequency and tie-line power, and load frequency control (LFC) is an inevitable mechanism to compensate the mismatch. For this issue, this paper explores the influence of energy storage device (ESD) on ameliorating the LFC performance for an interconnected dual-area thermal and solar photovoltaic (PV) power system. Initially, to alleviate the frequency and tie-line power deviations, a proportional-integral (PI) controller is chosen and utilized in the system due to its effectiveness and simplicity in practice. For achieving the highest performance from this controller, salp swarm algorithm (SSA) is employed to search for optimal controller parameters by using integral of time-multiplied absolute error (ITAE) criterion. To affirm the contribution of SSA optimized PI controller, it is contrasted with a recent approach utilizing PI controller optimized by genetic algorithm (GA) and firefly algorithm (FA). It is observed that the results acquired for SSA are better than for GA and FA. To improve the system performance further, ESD such as redox flow battery (RFB) famous for its excellent disturbance rejection capability is integrated with the thermal power unit for the first time in the literature. It is divulged from the results that the system performance with RFB has boosted considerably with regard to shorter settling time, less undershoot/overshoot and smaller ITAE value of the frequency and tie-line power fluctuations. According to the sensitivity analysis, our proposal is found robust against system parameters variations and different loading conditions.
