Summary: | This work primarily focuses on electrical characteristics of a hybrid power system (HPS) incorporating renewable energy generation (REG) (HPSREG). The major components of HPSREG are the resources coordinated with multi-unit of photovoltaic cells, multi-unit of wind turbine generators, a diesel engine generator (DEG), energy storage system (ESS) with diverse nature and an electric vehicle (EV). The performance characteristics of HPSREG are determined by constant generation of power from the various sources as well as varying load perturbations. As the variation in load demand will introduce fluctuation in frequency and power with constant generation. In few of overcome the frequency and power deviation under both the above-mentioned generation and load demand conditions, proper control technique is required. In order to control the deviation in frequency and power, an integration in the environment of fractional order (FO) calculus for proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller and fuzzy controller, termed with FO-Fuzzy PID controller tuned with quasi-opposition based harmonic search (QOHS) algorithm has been proposed. The results acquired with the proposed FO-Fuzzy-PID controller are then analyzed along with FO-PID and PID controller route for quantify effectiveness for the same under the considered cases to determine the effectiveness of the algorithm undertaken. Sensitivity investigation is also conducted in order to show the strength of the technique under study of differences in HPSREG parameters of magnitude.
