What is Optimization Techniques

In this chapter, the dynamic performance of a wind-diesel-generator system has been studied against wind and load perturbations. The wind perturbation is modeled by simulating base, ramp, gust, and random wind. An optimized cascade tilt-integral-derivative (CC-TID) controller is provided to the test system for producing desired control signal to regulate the blade pitch angle of wind turbine. To confirm the efficacy of CC-TID controller, the output results are compared to that of PI- and PID-controller. The optimum gains of the proposed controllers are explored employing Levy-embedded grey wolf optimization, whale optimization algorithm, drone squadron optimization, and search group algorithm. To show the effectiveness, the output results are compared to the results of genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization tuned controllers. A thyristor control series compensator (TCSC) is provided to WDG model for increasing the damping of system oscillations. Analysis of the presented results confirm the supremacy of CC-TID-TCSC controller over other controllers provided in this chapter.
