Volleyball Premier League based LFC and Comparative Analysis of Different Energy Storage System for Interconnected Power System

This Effect of energy storage devices like Redox Flow Battery (RFB), Capacitive Energy Storage (CES) and Super Conducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) in interconnected multi-area, multi-source power system is analysed in this article. Also effect of Interline Power Flow Controller (IPFC) with energy storage devices is studied. A two area power system incorporating conventional thermal, hydro and gas power plant in each area is proposed in this article. Thermal power plant is associated with practical constraints like Generation Rate Constraint (GRC) and Governor Dead Band (GDB). A Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller with a derivative filter is introduced. Here derivative filter works as a noise attenuator. A powerful meta-heuristic Volleyball Premier League (VPL) algorithm is introduced for optimization of PID controllers gain and other system parameters. At last result obtained with different energy storage devices is compared and dominance of RFB over other energy storage devices is shown.
