A harmony search-based H-infinity control method for islanded microgrid

This paper proposes a harmony search (HS) based H-infinity (H infinity) control method to promote the conventional droop control method. The proposed method is used to enhance the performance of the voltage/frequency (V/F), controller. It can regulate both voltage and frequency to their rated values while enhancing autonomous microgrid (MG) power quality. The results gained from the proposed controller were compared with the results achieved by using the model predictive control (MPC) technique to show the applicability of the proposed controller. On top of that, a comparison between different controllers presented in this paper is performed. (C) 2019 ISA. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
