Oscillations Damping and Maximization of Wind Energy Using A Fractional Order PID Controller

Renewable energy resources are the favorable solution for the coming energy. So, a great interest has been paid in the last decades for developing and utilizing renewable energy resources such as wind energy. As it has a large energy content and, particularizes with the availability, the major problems of it is represented in unmatched with load demand because of the intermittency and fluctuation of natural conditions. Different optimization methods are presented and discussed like Genetic Algorithm (GA), Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO). These optimization methods are used to obtain the optimum parameters for Proportional Integral (PI) controller and the fractional-order PI. The PI and FOPI parameters’ gains are optimized and obtained. For more clarification for the wind farm performance in the case of using PI controller and fractional-order PI, a three-phase and single-phase fault are applied to the system. The performance analysis for the system due to these faults is obtained and discussed.
