    It is well known that the power system controller designed by H∞ control is complicated, high order and impractical. In power system applications, practical structures such as proportional integral derivative (PID) etc., are widely used, because of their simple structure, less number of tuning parameters and low-order. However, tuning of controller parameters to achieve a good performance and robustness is based on designer's experiences. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a fixed structure robust H∞ loop shaping control to design Static Var Compensator (SVC) and Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) for robust stabilization of voltage fluctuation in an isolated wind-diesel hybrid power system. The structure of the robust controller of SVC and AVR is specified by a PID controller. In the system modeling, a normalized coprime factorization is applied to represent possible unstructured uncertainties in the power system such as variation of system parameters, generating and loading conditions etc. Based on the H∞ loop shaping, the performance and robust stability conditions are formulated as the optimization problem. The particle swarm optimization is applied to solve for PID control parameters of SVC and AVR simultaneously. Simulation studies confirm the control effect and robustness of the proposed control. © 2009 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

    In this paper, the robust control design of pitch controller for frequency control in a hybrid wind-diesel power generation system is proposed. The structure of the pitch controller is a 1<sup>st</sup>-order lead-lag compensator. To take system uncertainties into account, the coprime factorization is applied in system modeling. To obtain the controller parameters, the performance and stability conditions of H<inf>∞</inf> loop shaping technique are used to formulate the optimization problem. The genetic algorithm is employed to solve the problem. Simulation studies show the frequency control effect and robustness of the proposed controller against system uncertainties in comparison with a variable structure pitch control. ©2008 IEEE.

    This paper proposes a robust control of voltage fluctuation due to the variation of reactive loads in an isolated wind-diesel hybrid power system using Static Var Compensator (SVC) and Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR). The structure of the voltage controller of SVC and AVR is the proportional integral (PI) controller with single input. In the system modeling, a normalized coprime factorization is applied to represent possible unstructured uncertainties in the power system such as variation of system parameters and generating and loading conditions. Based on the H<inf>∞</inf> loop shaping, the performance and robust stability conditions of the control system are formulated as the optimization problem. The genetic algorithm is applied to solve an optimization problem and to achieve PI control parameters of SVC and AVR simultaneously. Simulation studies show the control effect and robustness of the proposed coordinated SVC and AVR. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Application of electrolyzer system to enhance frequency stabilization effect of microturbine in a microgrid system
    (2009-09-01)

    It is well known that the power output of microturbine can be controlled to compensate for load change and alleviate the system frequency fluctuations. Nevertheless, the microturbine may not adequately compensate rapid load change due to its slow dynamic response. Moreover, when the intermittent power generations from wind power and photovoltaic are integrated into the system, they may cause severe frequency fluctuation. In order to study the fast dynamic response, this paper applies electrolyzer system to absorb these power fluctuations and enhance the frequency control effect of microturbine in the microgrid system. The robust coordinated controller of electrolyzer and microturbine for frequency stabilization is designed based on a fixed-structure H<inf>∞</inf> loop shaping control. Simulation results exhibit the robustness and stabilizing effects of the proposed coordinated electrolyzer and microturbine controllers against system parameters variation and various operating conditions.

    This paper focuses on a new robust control design of Static Var Compensator (SVC) for voltage control in an isolated wind-diesel hybrid power system. The proposed method is based on the H<inf>∞</inf> loop shaping technique and genetic algorithm (GA). The structure of the controller is a proportional integral (PI) controller with single input. In the design, system uncertainties are modeled by a normalized coprime factorization. The performance and robust stability conditions of the designed system satisfying the H<inf>∞</inf> loop shaping are formulated as the objective function in the optimization problem. The GA is applied to solve an optimization problem and to achieve control parameters. Simulation studies show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method. © 2008 IEEE.

    In this paper, the robust control design of power system stabilizer (PSS) and thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) for enhancement of power system dynamic stability is proposed. To take system uncertainties such as variations of system parameters, several loading conditions etc., into account, the normalized coprime factorization is used to represent unstructured uncertainties in the system. The H∞ loop shaping technique is applied to design robust PSS and TCSC controllers. Simulation results in a single machine infinite bus system show that the performance and robustness of the proposed H∞ controllers of PSS and TCSC are superior to those of the conventional PSS and TCSC. © 2008 IEEE.

    Structured robust control for a Pmdc motor speed controller using swarm optimization and mixed sensitivity approach
    This paper proposes a new technique for designing a robust DC motor speed controller based on the concepts of fixed-structure robust controller and a mixed sensitivity method. Performance is specified by selecting the closed-loop objective weight, and uncertainties caused by the parameter changes of motor resistance, motor inductance and load are used to formulate the multiplicative uncertainty weight. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is adopted to solve the optimization problem and find the optimal structured controller. The proposed technique can solve the problem of complicated and high order controller of conventional full order H <inf>∞</inf> controller and also retains the robust performance of conventional H <inf>∞</inf> optimal control. The performance and robustness of the proposed speed controller are investigated in a Permanent Magnet DC (PMDC) motor in comparison with the controllers designed by conventional H <inf>∞</inf> optimal control and conventional ISE method. Results of simulations demonstrate the advantages of the proposed controller in terms of simple structure and robustness against plant perturbations and disturbances. Experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010.

    This paper proposes a new design of a robust control and monitoring system (RCMS) for robust stabilization of frequency fluctuation in a microgrid (MG) system. In MG system, the power sources consists of wind power (WP), photovoltaic (PV), microturbine (MT) and fuel cell (FC). Due to WP, PV and load fluctuations, the frequency stabilization of RCMS is performed by adjusting the power outputs of MT and electrolyzer system (ES) in both islanding and interconnected utility grid operations. The structure of MT and ES controllers is a proportional integral (PI). To enhance the robustness of designed controllers against system uncertainties, controller parameters of MT and ES are concurrently tuned by the particle swarm optimization based on a specified-structure H<inf>∞</inf> loop shaping control. Simulation results display the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed RCMS against system parameters variation and several operating conditions.

    The design of two area interconnected power system robust controller is described in this paper. The proposed technique uses a fixed-structure robust loop shaping control which can guarantee the robust performance of a structure-specified controller. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is adopted in the design, and the inverse of infinity norm from disturbances to states is formulated as the fitness function to find the optimal controller. Simulation results of designing load frequency controller for two area interconnected power system show that the proposed controller has simpler structure than that of the H <inf>∞</inf> loop shaping controller, and its stability is better than the controllers designed by the LMI approach[6] and the reduced order controller by the Hankel norm model reduction technique.

    Weight optimization and structurespecified robust h∞loop-shaping control of apneumatic servo system using genetic algorithm

    ;
    H∞ loop-shaping (HLS) is a feasible method for designing a robust controller; however, the controller designed by this method is usually complicated with high order. To overcome this problem, we propose a new design technique, weight selection and structurespecified HLS control using genetic algorithms (GAs), to design a robust controller. In the proposed technique, both the performance weight and structures-specified robust loop-shaping controllerare simultaneously determined by GA. The performance and robust stability conditions of the designed system satisfying the HLS are formulated as the objective function in the optimization problem. The designed controller contains simple structure with lower order and still retains the robustness and performance specification. As shown in the simulation results, the robustness and performance of the proposed controller are almost identical to those of the controller designed by HLS method and the proposed technique leads to performance comparable to that of the reduced-order controller. Experiments on the pneumatic actuators of a pneumatically actuated robot are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
