Ítem Manta Ray Foraging Optimization for the Virtual Inertia Control of Islanded Microgrids Including Renewable Energy Sources(MDPI, 2022-04) Saleh, Amr; Omran, Walid A.; Hasanien, Hany M.; Tostado-Véliz, Marcos; Alkuhayli, Abdulaziz; Jurado-Melguizo, FranciscoNowadays, the penetration level of renewable energy sources (RESs) has increased dramatically in electrical networks, especially in microgrids. Due to the replacement of conventional synchronous generators by RESs, the inertia of the microgrid is significantly reduced. This has a negative impact on the dynamics and performance of the microgrid in the face of uncertainties, resulting in a weakening of microgrid stability, especially in an islanded operation. Hence, this paper focuses on enhancing the dynamic security of an islanded microgrid using a frequency control concept based on virtual inertia control. The control in the virtual inertia control loop was based on a proportional-integral (PI) controller optimally designed by the Manta Ray Foraging Optimization (MRFO) algorithm. The performance of the MRFO-based PI controller was investigated considering various operating conditions and compared with that of other evolutionary optimization algorithm-based PI controllers. To achieve realistic simulations conditions, actual wind data and solar power data were used, and random load fluctuations were implemented. The results show that the MRFO-based PI controller has a superior performance in frequency disturbance alleviation and reference frequency tracking compared with the other considered optimization techniques.Ítem Optimal Model Predictive Control for Virtual Inertia Control of Autonomous Microgrids(MDPI, 2023-03) Saleh, Amr; Hasanien, Hany M.; Turky, Rania A.; Turdybek, Balgynbek; Alharbi, Mohammed; Jurado-Melguizo, Francisco; Omran, Walid A.For the time being, renewable energy source (RES) penetration has significantly increased in power networks, particularly in microgrids. The overall system inertia is dramatically decreased by replacing traditional synchronous machines with RES. This negatively affects the microgrid dynamics under uncertainties, lowering the microgrid frequency stability, specifically in the islanded mode of operation. Therefore, this work aims to enhance the islanded microgrid frequency resilience using the virtual inertia frequency control concept. Additionally, optimal model predictive control (MPC) is employed in the virtual inertial control model. The optimum design of the MPC is attained using an optimization algorithm, the African Vultures Optimization Algorithm (AVOA). To certify the efficacy of the proposed controller, the AVOA-based MPC is compared with a conventional proportional–integral (PI) controller that is optimally designed using various optimization techniques. The actual data of RES is utilized, and a random load power pattern is applied to achieve practical simulation outcomes. Additionally, the microgrid paradigm contains battery energy storage (BES) units for enhancing the islanded microgrid transient stability. The simulation findings show the effectiveness of AVOA-based MPC in improving the microgrid frequency resilience. Furthermore, the results secure the role of BES in improving transient responses in the time domain simulations. The simulation outcomes are obtained using MATLAB software.
