Improved Nonlinear Active Disturbance Rejection Controller for Hybrid Microgrid With Communication Delay

Improved Nonlinear Active Disturbance Rejection Controller for Hybrid Microgrid With Communication Delay:

An improved nonlinear active disturbance rejection control (INLADRC) approach is proposed for load frequency control of hybrid microgrid with communication delay. The INLADRC technique includes a nonlinear extended state observer (NESO) to estimate the system states and a nonlinear controller for the cancellation of the generalized disturbance acting on system. The effect of communication delay in the hybrid microgrid system is alleviated via the incorporation of an auxiliary structure that also restores the synchronization between the inputs of NESO. The efficacy of the proposed approach is validated via a comprehensive analysis, wherein step variations as well as random perturbations are considered in solar power, wind power and load demand. Further, the performance of proposed technique is also corroborated via consideration of real time solar and wind data. Moreover, the robustness of INLADRC technique is investigated in presence of parametric uncertainty, model-plant mismatch, delay time mismatch as well as varying communication delay. An ex- tensive comparative analysis is a testimony to the effectiveness of INLADRC approach
