Description
Summary:This paper addresses the growing necessity for enhanced control strategies in wind energy conversion systems (WECS) to optimize the concert of permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG). The motivation for this research stems from the increasing reliance on renewable energy sources and the challenges posed by grid disturbances, particularly during low voltage ride through (LVRT) events. The primary problem tackled is the inadequacy of traditional control methods, such as proportional integral (PI) and conventional optimization techniques, which often fail to provide satisfactory dynamic performance and stability in fluctuating wind conditions. To overcome these challenges, a novel fractional order proportional integral derivative (FOPID) controller is designed and its parameters are optimized using the golden eagle optimization algorithm (GEO). This methodology involves detailed simulations conducted in DIgSILENT/Matlab, focussing on transient and dynamic analyses to evaluate the controller's performance. The findings reveal that the GEO-FOPID controller exhibits a significant improvement in system response, with a rise time of 1.06 µs and a settling time of 8.02 µs, outperforming the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA) controllers by 75% and 85%, respectively. Notably, both the GEO-FOPID and PSO controllers achieved zero overshoot, enhancing the overall stability of the system during disturbances. This research contributes to the field by demonstrating the efficacy of FOPID controllers in WECS and highlights the technical novelty of utilizing the GEO algorithm for optimal parameter tuning. The results provide a promising avenue for future research to improve further the efficiency and reliability of wind energy systems in real-world applications.
