Optimal Fractional Order Based on Fuzzy Control Scheme for Wind Farm Voltage Control with Reactive Power Compensation

Voltage stability margin is ensured through the reactive power resources. In order to generate the reactive power references and ensure the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) control of a wind farm system based on squirrel cage induction generator, this paper proposed an optimal control approach based on fractional-order (FO) PI-fuzzy-PI (FOPI-fuzzy-FOPI) controller. The proposed control method ensures, also, the demand for active and reactive power predetermined by the transmission system operator (TSO) and satisfies the grid code recommendations. In order to achieve a faster tracking of state variables of the system, the FO operators are optimized using the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSOA). Using FO operator and PSOA, the responses of the system can be improved. The proposed controller provides additional parameters for better tracking performance and faster convergence can be achieved. Numerical simulation results are presented to analyze the advantages of the proposed control approach to design a physically, realizable controller. The present results are compared with various control methods to show the superiority of the method proposed in this paper.
