Hypothesis

Can a coordinated control strategy improve voltage and frequency regulation in a deregulated power system with renewable energy sources?

Conclusion

The proposed control strategy significantly reduces frequency deviations and voltage settling times in a renewable-dominated power network.

Supporting Evidence

  • The proposed method reduces frequency deviation undershoot by 67.45%.
  • Voltage settling time is improved by 91.11% compared to conventional controllers.
  • Integration of auxiliary devices like UPFC and EVs enhances performance.

Takeaway

This study shows how to keep the power system stable when using renewable energy by using a smart control method.

Methodology

The study uses a Leader Harris Hawks Optimization-based Model Predictive Controller to manage voltage and frequency in a multi-source power system.

Limitations

The study may not account for all real-world complexities in deregulated power markets.
