Description
Summary:Introduction. The Grid Connected Photovoltaic System comprises two fundamental control loops: an external loop responsible for overseeing the DC link voltage, and an internal control loop that regulates the inverter current. The primary element of any control loop is the proportional-integral controller and determining the appropriate gains for this controller is a difficult issue. Aim of the Study. The study aimed to adjust the gains of the PI controllers in both static and dynamic irradiance scenarios for improving DC-link voltage by novel hybrid optimization method named Genetic Algorithm- Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithm- Pattern search. Material and Methods. In this paper we use two hybrid optimizations techniques called Genetic Algorithm- simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithm- Pattern Search to adjust the gains of the PI controllers in both static and dynamic irradiance scenarios for improving DC-link voltage. Results. Finally, this study presents comparison of DC-link voltage with six cases with manual tuning of PI controller, as well as PI controller by Genetic Algorithm- simulated Annealing, Genetic Algorithm- Pattern Search, Genetic Algorithm, Simulated Annealing and Pattern Search. The comparison showed by using Genetic Algorithm-Simulated Annealing, peak overshoot in DC-link voltage is 829.3 V while peak overshoot in DC-link voltage is 1 052 V when DC-link voltage is controlled by manual tuning of PI as well as significant reduction in peak time and settling time in DC-link voltage. Discussion and Conclusion. The results achieved to strengthen the DC-link voltage under both static and dynamic irradiance conditions enable the sustaining of a constant DC-link voltage, which is essential for grid-connected photovoltaic systems. The comparison showed by using Genetic Algorithm- Simulated Annealing, peak overshoot in DC-link voltage is 829.3 V while peak overshoot in DC-link voltage is 1 052 V when DC-link voltage is controlled by manual tuning of PI as well as significant reduction in peak time and settling time in DC-link voltage.
