title = "Virtual Power Plant enabled Co-ordinated Frequency Control of a grid connected Independent Hybrid Microgrid using Firefly algorithm",
abstract = "This paper investigates the stabilization of frequency of a grid connected microgrid in presence of solar photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine (WT) and biodiesel electric generator (BDEG) as electric source and heat pump (HP), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) as controllable load along with a critical load. Virtual power plant (VPP) coordinated control concept has been applied where proportional-integral (PI) or proportional-integral-derivate (PID) controller are used with BDEG, HP, PHEV to adjust the output power as decided by the VPP coordinator. A metaheuristic algorithm, Firefly Algorithm (FFA) is used to tune the controllers. The Microgrid is stimulated for step variations in the PV and WT generation and critical load. The comparative analysis of two metaheuristic algorithms (PSO and FFA) optimized PI/PID controllers have been investigated in terms of peak deviations, settling time and objective function. The proposed system is simulated under MATLAB-Simulink environment and shows that FFA optimized PID controller is better than rest one.",
