Application of metaheuristic algorithms in interval type-2 fractional order fuzzy TID controller for nonlinear level control process under actuator and system component faults

Purpose–The two-tank level control system is one of the real-world’s second-order system(SOS)widely used as the process control in industries.It is normally operated under the Proportional integral and derivative(PID)feedback control loop.The conventional PID controller performance degrades significantly in the existence of modeling uncertainty,faults and process disturbances.To overcome these limitations,the paper suggests an interval type-2 fuzzy logic based Tilt-Integral-Derivative Controller(IT2TID)which is modified structure of PID controller.Design/methodology/approach–In this paper,an optimization IT2TID controller design for the conical,noninteracting level control system is presented.Regarding to modern optimization context,the flower pollination algorithm(FPA),among the most coherent population-based metaheuristic optimization techniques is applied to search for the appropriate IT2FTID’s and IT2FPID’s parameters.The proposed FPA-based IT2FTID/IT2FPID design framework is considered as the constrained optimization problem.System responses obtained by the IT2FTID controller designed by the FPA will be differentiated with those acquired by the IT2FPID controller also designed by the FPA.Findings–As the results,it was found that the IT2FTID can provide the very satisfactory tracking and regulating responses of the conical two-tank noninteracting level control system superior as compared to IT2FPID significantly under the actuator and system component faults.Additionally,statistical Z-test carried out for both the controllers and an effectiveness of the proposed IT2FTID controller is proven as compared to IT2FPID and existing passive fault tolerant controller in recent literature.Originality/value–Application of new metaheuristic algorithm to optimize interval type-2 fractional order TID controller for nonlinear level control system with two type of faults.Also,proposed method will compare with other method and statistical analysis will be presented.

Purpose–The purpose of this article is about the design of controllers for conical two-tank noninteracting level(CTTNL)system in simulation.Local linearization around the equilibrium point has been done for the nonlinear CTTNL system to obtain a linearized model transfer function.Design/methodology/approach–This article deals with the design of novel optimal fractional-order tiltintegral-derivative(TID)controller using type-1 fuzzy set for the CTTNL prototype system.In this study,type-1 fuzzy TID controller parameters have been optimized through genetic algorithm(GA)and those set of values have been employed for the design of proportional-integral-derivative(PID)controller.Findings–A performance comparison between FTID and PID controller is then investigated.The analysis shows the superiority of FTID controller over PID controller in terms of integral absolute error(IAE),integral square error(ISE),integral of time multiplied absolute error(ITAE)and integral of time multiplied squared error(ITSE)integral errors.The transient and steady state performance of the FTID controller are superior as compared to conventional PID controller.In future,the FTID controller fault-tolerance capability tested on CTTNL system subject to actuator and system component(leak)faults.The detailed study of robustness in presence of model uncertainties will be incorporated as a scope of further research.Originality/value–A performance comparison between FTID and PID controller is then investigated.The analysis shows the superiority of FTID controller over PID controller in terms of IAE,ISE,ITAE and ITSE integral errors.Additionally,fault-tolerant performance of the proposed controller evaluated with fault-recovery time(F_(rt))parameter.The transient and steady state performance of the FTID controller are superior as compared to conventional PID controller.

Review of sub-synchronous interaction in wind integrated power systems: classification, challenges, and mitigation techniques

Emerging sub-synchronous interactions(SSI)in wind-integrated power systems have added intense attention after numerous incidents in the US and China due to the involvement of series compensated transmission lines and power electronics devices.SSI phenomenon occurs when two power system elements exchange energy below the synchro-nous frequency.SSI phenomenon related to wind power plants is one of the most significant challenges to main-taining stability,while SSI phenomenon in practical wind farms,which has been observed recently,has not yet been described on the source of conventional SSI literature.This paper first explains the traditional development of SSI and its classification as given by the IEEE,and then it proposes a classification of SSI according to the current research status,reviews several mitigation techniques and challenges,and discusses analysis techniques for SSI.The paper also describes the effect of the active damping controllers,control scheme parameters,degree of series compensation,and various techniques used in wind power plants(WPPs).In particular,a supplementary damping controller with converter controllers in Doubly Fed Induction Generator based WPPs is briefly pronounced.This paper provides a real-istic viewpoint and a potential outlook for the readers to properly deal with SSI and its mitigation techniques,which can help power engineers for the planning,economical operation,and future expansion of sustainable development.
