Illustration of Maiden Frequency Control Scheme of Combined Cycle Gas
turbine and Doubly Fed Induction Generator Integrated Distributed Energy
Resources based Isolated Power System
Abstract
Electricity network across the globe has witnessed an increase in
penetration of distributed energy resources (DER) to the grid. A maiden
attempt to integrate 50% loaded Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant
and doubly fed Induction Generator (DFIG) plant with DER is carried out
for investigations to study frequency excursions in the hybrid system
along with temperature excursions in the CCGT plant. A novel attempt is
done to introduce modified beluga whale optimizer for tuning the
controller gains and system parameters of the hybrid isolated system.
This article emphasizes on the system behaviour of an isolated power
system consisting of a CCGT plant and a DFIG plant integrated with
distributed energy resources comprising of Diesel engine generator, wind
turbine generator and battery energy storage system. Among the classical
secondary controllers, comparison of system responses is carried out to
select the best among proportional, proportional-integral, and
proportional-integral-derivative controllers. A modified beluga whale
optimization algorithm is utilized to tune the controllers. Various
investigations conducted with different turbo generators confirm the
control strategy to the frequency of excursions. The hybrid CCGT – DFIG
- DER system is also evaluated under random load demand, change in
generation rate constraints and DFIG power output.
