Abstract

This paper demonstrates the modeling and simulation of a multi-area hydro-thermal system to combine control of voltage and frequency. Non-linearity constraints, for example, generation rate constraint (GRC), boiler pressures (BP), and governor dead band (GDB) are regarded as to make the system realistic. An appropriate value of GRC 3%/minute for the thermal plant, 270%/minute elevating, and 360%/minute demoting generation rate for the hydro plant is considered. The system is investigated the significant effect of the non-linearity constraints. A proportional-integral fractional-order (FOPIμ) controller is recommended to investigate the system reliability. The rider optimization algorithm (ROA) is used to obtain the optimum values of the controllers at 50% system loading condition and 1% step load disturbance at time 2 s. The dynamic system responses of the anticipated controller, FOPIμ, are compared with the classical proportional-integral (PI) and proportional-integral-derivative with filter (PIDF) controller. It reveals that the FOPIµ controller is superior to the traditional PI and PIDF controller. The system loading condition is made ±25% variations from its base system to validate the robustness of the FOPIµ controller. It is observed that the anticipated ROA optimized controller is of rigorous sensitivity.
