OPTIMAL FREQUENCY CONTROL IN MICROGRID SYSTEM USING FRACTIONAL ORDER PID CONTROLLER USING KRILL HERD ALGORITHM
Abstract. This paper investigates the use of fractional order Proportional, Integral and Derivative (FOPID) controllers for the frequency and power regulation in a microgrid power system. The proposed microgrid system composes of renewable energy resources such as solar and wind generators, diesel engine generators as a secondary source to support the principle generators, and along with different energy storage devices like fuel cell, battery and flywheel. Due to the intermittent nature of integrated renewable energy like wind turbine and photovoltaic generators, which depend on the weather conditions and climate change this affects the microgrid stability by considered fluctuation in frequency and power deviations which can be improved using the selected controller. The fractional-order controller has five parameters in comparison with the classical PID controller, and that makes it more flexible and robust against the microgrid perturbation. The Fractional Order PID controller parameters are optimized using a new optimization technique called Krill Herd which selected as a suitable optimization method in comparison with other techniques like Particle Swarm Optimization. The results show better performance of this system using the fractional order PID controller-based Krill Herd algorithm by eliminates the fluctuations in frequency and power deviation in comparison with the classical PID controller. The obtained results are compared with the fractional order PID controller optimized using Particle Swarm Optimization. The proposed system is simulated under nominal conditions and using the disconnecting of storage devices like battery and Flywheel system in order to test the robustness of the proposed methods and the obtained results are compared.

Introduction. The increase in energy demand, the technologies evolution and the depletion of fossil fuel lead towards the use of renewable energy generation. As energy production moving to the renewable, photovoltaic system and wind generators appear to be the fastest technologies in the power system. This attention for saving climate against greenhouse gas emission has made researchers study various non-polling sources such as solar and wind system which are considered the most used renewable energy generation [1]. All this has given rise to the integration of renewable energy resources like wind and solar with distributed energy resources and energy storage systems such as batteries, flywheels and ultra-capacitor [2]. The intermittent nature of solar radiations, and wind speed, is resulted in the dependence of these resources on the weather conditions at any time [3]. This can result in an unbalance between electrical load and generation and
sometimes result in unstable operation of the microgrid. This unbalance improved by the use of storage energy devices and conventional sources in hybrid power system based renewable energy generation. These storage systems store the surplus power from the renewable energy sources overly the demanded power in order to rid it later when the generated power is insufficient to feed the load demand. Many kinds of research investigate to study of power generation system based renewable generation systems such as wind and thermal solar in a hybrid system with a storage system and diesel generator [4, 5]. The importance of storage energy systems such as batteries, aqua electrolyser, fuel cell, ultracapacitor, and super magnetic energy storage (SMES) lead to analysis and control of various hybrid system configurations as in [6-9]. However, the use of conventional sources such as diesel generator and

energy storage devices control the mismatches in frequency and power deviations and assure the operation of the hybrid energy system in isolated areas independently of the main grid. These fluctuations in microgrid power and frequency must be controlled due to the intermittent and stochastic nature of renewable energy resources.
The control of frequency and power fluctuation is a big challenge faced by the use of the hybrid system over the wide domain. Even though many studies interest the control of hybrid energy systems using deferent strategies control among this PID controller, Fuzzy logic controller, and fractional PID controller etc. These studies show the high robustness of these proposed control schemes and enhance the performance of the hybrid energy system [6]. The fractional-order controller is widely considered the best controller for frequency and power fluctuations in the hybrid power system, in some cases, the FOPID and PID classic are integrated into hybridizing with other controllers like fuzzy logic which can give better performance of the system but with complexity in design and implementation.
The fractional controller is defined as the generality of the classical PID controller with the addition of two parameters in order to give more flexibility to the robustness of this controller. It has found suitable applications in microgrid frequency and hybrid energy systems [5].
In this paper, the fractional PID controller is used to control the frequency and power deviations for its robustness shown by the previous studies as in [8]. Many evolutionary optimization methods have been employed for tuning the controller parameters and given more improvement to the control strategies. Among these methods are widely used the Evolutionary Algorithm (EA), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and so one [3, 7, 17]. Recently a new optimization technique called Krill Herd (KH) algorithm has been invented based on the behaviour of Krill in the research of food [13]. This technique is used to optimize the PID controller parameters in [16]. In our study, the Krill Herd is employed to optimize the two proposed controller and compared with PSO. The rest of this paper is summarized as fellow: the microgrid model is presented in section 2; the controller scheme is presented in section 3; in section 4 optimization technique and objective function are reported; in section 5 the results are analyzed and compared. This paper is ended by a conclusion in section 6 followed by a reference.
Microgrid concept. The proposed microgrid consists of two renewable energy resources like wind turbine generators and photovoltaic systems with diesel engine generator and fuel cell system as secondary sources along with energy storage systems like batteries and flywheel for store the surplus of generated power in order to release them later [1]. For small-signal analysis, the wind turbine generator (WTG), photovoltaic (PV), fuel cell (FC), and diesel energy generator (DEG) are modeled by a transfer function in the first order as showed in Fig. 1 [5].

For small-signal analysis, the dynamics of the WTG, PV, FC, and DEG can be modeled by the first-order transfer function. The model has been considered for analysis and demonstration of frequency behaviour in different cases [1]

Models of energy storage systems. Energy storage plays an important role in the hybrid energy system in order to absorb the surplus power from renewable energy sources and release to loads if a deficit amount of power. The battery energy storage system (BESS) is slower to charge and discharge; its time constant is limited. On the other hand flywheel energy storage system (FESS) stores mechanical energy in a rotating flywheel rotor and retrieves it later as an electrical output. It can supply high power in a short time. The transfer functions of the BESS and FESS can be presented by a first-order transfer function as given next [1, 5, 8]

When taking 2 = f = 1 the result is the classical PID controller (Fig. 3).
Fractional order PID controller. PID controller is a specific control loop feedback technic generally used in the industrial control system [6]. The PID controller consists to correct the error between a measured process variable and the desired set point. The PIXDM controller is defined as a generalization of classical PID controller, Since these fractional controllers have two parameters more than the conventional PID controller: the order of fractional integration X and that of fractional derivative i, two more specifications can be met, thus can enhance the performance of the system and could lead to more robust control performances, more adequate modeling and adds more flexibility to controller design. We can control our real-world processes more accurately [7]. The FOPID controller has three parameters similar to the PID controller along with the two additional parameters namely; the integral order X, and the differential order f. The transfer function of FOPID controller in Laplace domain is given as presented in Fig. 2 [8, 12]. At Fig. 2 y(t) is controller output, kp is proportional constant gain, k is integration constant gain, kd is derivative constant gain, X is order of integration, i is the order of differentiators.

Due to the presence of stochastic terms in generation and load, the optimization of the parameters controller leads to eliminate the frequency and power deviation.
We will design fractional-order PID controllers using the Krill Herd and display the advantages of the fractional-order controllers.
Objective function and optimization of FOPID controller. For the effective functioning of the hybrid system, the fractional PID controller parameters need to be determined. For this problem, the objective function in (11) is used to minimize the frequency deviation (as well as the control signal ISE (Integral of Squared Error) is used as a fitness function for the optimization of controller parameters). The fitness function has been defined as integration between the Tmin and Tmax simulation period, using the sum of square frequency deviation AF and the deviation of the control signal (Au) [5]

Overview of Krill Herd Algorithm. KH is a novel optimization technique for resolving the optimization problem [13]. This technique is inspired by the simulation of the herding of Krill swarm in the response of specific biological environment processes. It is characterized by three main actions described as follows [14, 15]:
1. Movement induced by other krill;
2. Foraging action;
3. Random diffusion.

In KH, the Lag radian model is used in ^-dimensional decision space as shown in [16]

where Ni is the motion induced by other Krill; Fi is the foraging motion, and Di is the physical diffusion of the ith krill.

Overview of Particle Swarm Optimization. Many problems have not an exact solution that gives the results in a reasonable time. For overcoming these problems some metaheuristics methods offer an approached solution after much iteration are recently proposed. Among these methods, the PSO algorithm has a general principle to be applied in many fields of optimization problems. PSO is a stochastic optimization algorithm developed by Eberhart and Kennedy, inspired by the social behaviour and fish schooling of bird flocking. Each particle in the swarm is a different possible set of the unknown parameters of the objective function to be optimized. The swarm consists of N particles moving around in a D-dimensional search space. Each particle is initialized with a random position and a random velocity [17, 18]. The new velocity can be calculated by the fellow formula.
Vi+1 = W • V + C1■ r ■ (Pbest - Xk)+
+ C2 ■ r2 \Gbest - Xi)
Xi+1 = Xi + Vi +1,
where Vi is the component in the dimension of the particle velocity in iteration, Xi is the component in the dimension of the particle position in iteration, C1 and C2 are constant weight factors, Pbest is the best position achieved so far by particle, Gbest is the best position found by the neighbours of particle, and are random factors in between 0 and 1 interval, and w is inertia weight which is started from a positive initial value (w0) and decreases during the iterations by
Wk+1 =p. Wk.
The algorithms of PSO can be described as follows:
Step 1: Initialize a population of particles with random positions and velocities on D-dimensions in the problem space.
Step 2. Evaluation of desired optimization fitness function in D variables for each particle.
Step 3. Comparison of particle's fitness evaluated with its best previous position. If the current value is better, then set the best previous position equal to the current value, and pi equals to the current location xi in D dimensional space.
(13)
(14)
Step 4. Identifying the particle in the neighbourhood with the best fitness so far, and assign its index to the variable g.
Step 5. Change velocity and position of the particle according to Equation (13) and (14).
Step 6. Return to step 2 until a criterion is met or end of iterations.
Results and discussions. The proposed configuration of the microgrid system is executed using MATLAB/Simulink Sawford under different operating conditions in various power scales (Fig. 4). Per unit is considered as the principal unit of all power values.

Discussions. The proposed controllers are tuned using Krill Herd and Particle Swarm Optimization in object to testing the system robustness. The system is simulated without the BESS, FESS, and DEG respectively and the effect of these components is tested using FOPID based KH and PSO. Then the obtained results are compared. The previous figures show different results. The result of the comparison of FOPID and PID is shown using KH running for 100 iterations. Though, the optimization method is a convenient technique that can be applied in this type of optimization issue.

deviation reaches zero in the face of disturbances in loads and generation units. These sudden changes in power generations and loads demand to have an important effect on frequency and power variations. The main objective of this letter was to analyze and improve the frequency control. A remarkable better performance of the system can be reached using FOPID controllers based on Krill Herd in comparison with FOPID based PSO. The obtained results present that KH-FOPID performed better than KH-PID due to its low-frequency variation and rapid transient variation. It is also shown that the frequency and power fluctuations in microgrid using FOPID-KH are small than with FOPID- PSO.
Conclusions.
This paper addresses the application of a fractional-order PID controller for microgrid frequency control using Krill Herd to eliminate the influence of the mismatches between the generation and loads which causes high fluctuation of frequency and power in microgrid system based on renewable energy generation. Various Microgrid components are modeled by a transfer function in the first order to simplify the simulation process. The simulation results showed that the Krill Herd based FOPID controller scheme is favourable to send away the frequency and power deviations under perturbation operation conditions in comparison with PSO based FOPID controller because the frequency deviation is small with FOPID-KH (around 0.218) than for FOPID-PSO (around 0.235) and the power deviation varies from 1 p.u to -0.5 p.u with FOPID-KH and from 1 p.u to -0.6 p.u with FOPID-PSO which signify the best performances with FOPID-KH. Furthermore, the proposed controller is suitable to control the perturbation string along with renewable energy sources intermittences and sudden variation in power load. The generated power from DEG is enhanced using the FOPID-KH than by FOPID-PSO as shown (P-DEG equal to 0.41 p.u for FOPID-KH and 0.426 p.u for FOPID-PSO). Form the presented results it can be easily observed that the Krill
Herd is considered as the best optimization technique in terms of rapid response, good robustness to tuning the controller parameters and to improve the proposed system performance. In conclusion, the selected control strategy based optimization technique gives high suitability in microgrid frequency control.
