Optimal Management of Multi-Area System Incorporating Wind Power Across Varied Climatic Conditions using Firefly Optimization Methodology

Increased randomness in climatic condition due to global warming has stressed researchers to prepare the technology for harsh weather condition. In this paper wind power plant under different climatic conditions is considered for testing the resiliency of proposed power network with proposed controller. An intelligent controller hybridized with firefly optimization technique has been proposed in this paper which is helpful in enhancing the robustness of system in tackling the unknown random weather on proposed hybrid power system. In this paper, a uniquely designed fitness function i.e. ITMWAE (Integral of Time multiplied Magnified Weighted Absolute Error) is proposed for evaluating the performance of proposed power system with wind power plant. Proposed work in the current paper has been processed with the help of MATLAB/SIMULINK tool.
