Seeker optimized SVC-PID controller for reactive power control of an isolated hybrid power system

The modeling and controlling approach of a stand-alone wind–diesel hybrid model has been focused in this paper while adopting coordinated tuning of static VAR compensator (SVC)-PID controller and power system stabilizer (PSS) for controlling the reactive power. Seeker optimization algorithm (SOA) has been used for tuning the parameters of the SVC-PID and PSS. To find out the optimal parameters of the studied model, the SOA has been implemented successfully. The synchronous generator (SG) is equipped with IEEE type-I excitation system along with dual input PSS like IEEE-PSS3B in the studied hybrid model. On-line performance analysis of the studied hybrid model is achieved by using Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy logic (TSFL) based controller. In real-time, the TSFL helps to track the accuracy of reactive power compensation for any sort of input disturbance. It is found that the proposed SOA-TSFL is more effective to get the nominal optimal parameters of SVC-PID and PSS for on-line optimal reactive power control and terminal voltage response of the investigated power system model. It has also been investigated that the performance of the proposed controller is effectively influenced by the transmission delay signal.
