Abstract

Due to the environment's instability, to reduce inconsistent power supply it is preferable to connect two or more RES in a grid. Harmonics and other power quality issues are introduced into the distribution grid as a result of integrating these Hybrid Renewable Energy Storage (HRES) with nonlinear loads, which is a significant concern for the utility and the consumers, respectively. With the use of the Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC), power quality problems such as voltage interruptions, actual power, and reactive power can be reduced. For optimal operation of the series and shunt compensator of UPQC, the outputs of the converters are controlled by PWM signals, which are optimally tuned by controllers implemented with updated algorithms. An optimized Hybrid metaheuristic-assisted collateral controller comprising of fractional-order proportional integral derivative (FOPID) controller cum (proportional integral (PI) controller for the enhancement of the Three-Phase HRES system-based Distribution Grid integrated with UPQC is developed in this paper. The UPQC reduces the harmonics that non-linear loads feed into the power supply and power quality concerns. The DC link voltage regulation and controller optimization are achieved with the optimal tuning of gain parameters, fractional orders and weight parameters using a hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithm named Amplified Slime Mould with WildeBeest Herd Optimization (ASM-WHO) Algorithm. The proposed system is developed in MATLAB Simulink to compare the effectiveness of compensation for voltage sags and surges and total harmonic distortion (THD) to more traditional approaches, UPQC with PI controller, FOPID-PI controller, FOPID-PI with Chicken Swarm Optimization (CSO), SOA, SMA, and WHO optimization. The settling time for the proposed FOPID-PI controller with ASM –WHO is 147.27 s, which is 1.7%, 13.78%, 1.338% and 13.66% better than the controller without optimization, the proposed collateral controller method with either SOA or CSO or SMA, WHO optimization and PI controller respectively.
