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.
