Revamped Sine Cosine Algorithm Centered Optimization of System Stabilizers and Oscillation Dampers for Wind Penetrated Power System
Abstract
The mapping of damping ratios and damping factors by Sine-Cosine Algorithm (SCA) is significant in the analysis of low frequency oscillations generated in an integrated network having multiple conventional and renewable energy sources. Multiple random models with unknown search spaces and uncertain conditions and constraints, which incorporate the fluctuation of solutions towards or outwards at the initial stage for solving real-time problems can be analyzed by a revamped sine-cosine algorithm (RSCA) model. In this paper, the SCA has been revamped to explore the stability threshold for a stable system under dynamic nonlinear operating conditions. It is achieved with the infusion of suitable mathematical functions for optimizing the parameters of Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) and Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) system-based oscillation dampers to enhance the Small Signal Stability of power systems through effective damping of low-frequency oscillations (LFOs). These LFOs weaken the effective power generation and demand management cycle in conventional power systems when the system faces conditions like intermittent renewable energy sources, overloading conditions, impulsive faults etc. The small-signal and transient stability studies for various disturbances and different operating conditions are investigated, and the performance of the proposed RSCA for optimized parameter tuning of system stabilizers and oscillation dampers are analyzed on the modified benchmarking systems with wind generators using MATLAB Ⓡ simulations. The efficiency and robustness of the proposed algorithm has been verified under selective critical operating conditions, line outages, and load uncertainties to prove that the low frequency modes are damped with an elevated positive damping ratio and rapid settling time with reduced oscillations. The application of system stabilizers and oscillation dampers optimized through the proposed RSCA shows a reduced settling time in the LFOs created and improved damping ratio of 0.22 for an increase in 20% loading and 50% of wind power generation in the case study of Two Area Four Machine System.
