Optimal Lead-lag Controller for Distributed Generation Unit in Island Mode Using Simulated Annealing

Active and reactive power components of a Distributed Generation (DG) is normally controlled by a conventional dq-current control strategy however، after islanding the dq-current which is not able to successfully complete the control task is disabled and a lead-lag control strategy based optimized by simulated annealing is proposed for control of DG unit in islanding mode. Integral of Time multiply by Absolute Error (ITEA) criterion is used as cost function of simulated annealing in order to achieve smooth response and robust behavior. The proposed controller improved robust stability margins of the system. Simulations with different load and input operating conditions verify advantages of the proposed controller in comparison with a previously developed classic controller in terms of robustness and response time.
