Coordinated distributed model predictive control for multi energy carrier systems.

Introducing Energy hubs (EHs) is a beneficial strategy for incorporating quickly expanding renewable energies. However, the stochastic nature of renewable energy sources (RESs) and fluctuating energy demand have produced a number of difficulties, including unstable voltage/frequency, challenging energy management, and difficult network interaction. Additionally, the changing in response time of electrical and heat demands will make control challenging.

Optimal location of PMUs for full observability of power system using coronavirus herd immunity optimizer.

Phasor measurement units (PMU) are currently considered as an essential step toward the future smart grid due to their capability in increasing the power system's situation awareness. Due to their high costs and limited resources, optimal placement of PMUs (OPP) is an important challenge to compute the minimum number of PMUs and their optimal distribution in the power systems for achieving full monitoring. The coronavirus herd immunity optimizer (CHIO) is a novel optimization algorithm that emulates the flock immunity strategies for the elimination of the coronavirus pandemic.

A harmony search-based H-infinity control method for islanded microgrid.

This paper proposes a harmony search (HS) based H-infinity (H∞) control method to promote the conventional droop control method. The proposed method is used to enhance the performance of the voltage/frequency (V/F), controller. It can regulate both voltage and frequency to their rated values while enhancing autonomous microgrid (MG) power quality.
