Optimal Self Regulating PID Controller for Coordinated Wind-FC-Diesel Utilization Scheme

The modeling and coordinated control strategy for a wind-diesel-fuel cell renewable generation system with battery backup are discussed in this paper. The proposed hybrid scheme tracks the maximum power efficiency and optimal energy capture from the wind, diesel and the fuel cell. The diesel generator set unit issued to balance the system demand power according to the total power demand in order to minimize the diesel fuel consumption. The wind system generator is regulated to maximize the energy capture from the wind turbine. The paper presents a novel application of particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique to control the 6-pulse rectifier converter, dynamic filter/capacitor compensation (DFC) and green power filter (GPF) schemes using real time dynamic self regulating error tracking.
