Optimal Tuning of Active Power Gradient Control for Frequency Support in Multi-Energy Systems

Coping with severe active power imbalances constitutes a challenging task in low inertia multi-energy systems. The phase out of the majority of conventional power plants with large size synchronous generators entails that power electronic interfaced devices should take over the primary task of active power balance-frequency control. In view of...

MVMO-based tuning of Active Power Gradient Control of VSC-HVDC links for Frequency Support

The active power gradient (APG) control of MMC-HVDC links can contribute to frequency support in AC networks affected by severe active power imbalances. This functionality is particularly convenient if the coupled AC systems (through MMC-HVDC) have similar levels of available inertia. This paper tackles the problem of determining the optimal...

Hybrid Population Based MVMO for Solving CEC 2018 Test Bed of Single-Objective Problems

The MVMO algorithm (Mean-Variance Mapping Optimization) has two main features: I) normalized search range for each dimension (associated to each optimization variable); ii) use of a mapping function to generate a new value of a selected optimization variable based on the mean and variance derived from the best solutions achieved so far. The...
