Frequency excursion mitigation strategy using a novel COA optimised fuzzy controller in wind integrated power systems

The uncertain demeanour from wind generators and loads adversely affect the grid operational stability. Various control approaches have been explored to remedy the system uncertainties while maintaining generation and load demand balance. This study proposes a fuzzy‐based proportional–fractional integral–derivative with filter controller to sustain frequency stability in wind integrated power systems having different configurations. The controller parameters have been tuned using a recently developed coyote optimisation algorithm (COA). The proposed control approach is executed and validated on three distinct configurations of two‐area power systems. All test models are integrated with a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) type wind turbine units (WTUs). Different case scenarios have been considered to analyse the efficacy of the proposed control strategy in the presence of WTU. Furthermore, the impact of inertial support delivered by the DFIG‐WTU and higher penetration of wind energy in the power system has been studied. The analysis reveals that the control scheme in coordination with WTU support reduces the stress on a wind turbine during the inertial control scheme and maintains the grid frequency stability under unexpected load disturbances. Stability and robustness analysis are also conducted to verify the validity of the introduced control approach.
