Application of TLBO Algorithm Optimized PID Controller to Analyse Small Hydropower Plant

The issues of climatic change and raise in load demand day by day has led to the search of alternative sources which are renewable, economic as well as eco-friendly in nature. Small hydropower has become a better option to modify the energy scenario of the world and India. This paper is an approach to design off-grid and grid connected model of small hydropower plant in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The PID and FOPID controllers are used and the result is compared for both. TBLO and ATBLO algorithm is adopted to optimize PID parameters value to maximize output power and so as to get synchronised with the system and to enhance the response of the system. In this paper, the proposed TBLO and ATBLO optimized PID controller and FOPID controller is used. The islanding operation of SHP is performed to analysis the transient behaviour of the system.
