Application of Whale Optimization Algorithm Based FOPI Controllers UPQC to Mitigate Harmonics and Voltage Instability in Modern Distribution Power Grids
Abstract
This paper embarks on a journey into the realm of power value development in solar-wind hybrid power systems through simulation-based investigations. By seamlessly integrating the capabilities of STATCOM and UPQC into the hybrid system, this research aims to mitigate power quality topics stemming from voltage fluctuations, harmonics, and reactive power imbalances. Through meticulous analysis and simulation, the effectiveness of these devices in enhancing the overall system performance will be rigorously examined. As we delve into the details of this simulation study, we will travel the intricate interplay between renewable energy sources, cutting-edge power electronics, and control algorithms. The ultimate goal is to pave the way for a future where solar-wind hybrid power systems can seamlessly deliver reliable, high-quality electricity while minimizing their environmental footprint. Join us as we embark on this exploration at the nexus of renewable energy and advanced power electronics, working towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy landscape for generations to come.
