Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative Microgrid frequency control faces challenges due to load fluctuations and the intermittent nature of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs). The Load Frequency Control (LFC) scheme has been a profoundly investigated matter for decades for achieving a consistent frequency.
The storage system influences the frequency dynamics of the system. The Deep Artificial Neural Network (DANN), a novel and improved control method, is suggested for optimising the LFC model of a micro grid.
Recent advancements in frequency regulation for multi-microgrid systems (MMGS) have emphasized the critical need for adaptive and intelligent control strategies, particularly given the high variability of renewable energy integration and dynamic load conditions.
This scenario explores the stability of a micro grid under variation of Fuel cell generation with 50 s time intervals, while all other DGs supply their rated power. The investigation begins with t = 0 s, which causes the micro grid's frequency to exceed its nominal value that is about 10 Hz.
