Electric vehicle recharge strategies for frequency control in electrical power systems with high wind power generation using Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC)

Abstract

In electrical power systems, increasing amounts of wind energy penetration present new operational issues. Maintaining the generation-demand balance is one of these issues in order to keep the system frequency within reasonable limits. Utilizing systems for demand side response, which are an addition to the conventional generation side power-frequency regulation, is one way to address this problem. The effects of responsive electric vehicle (EV) charging procedures on reducing the impact of fluctuating wind power generation on frequency stability is discussed in this research. To do this, a model of a hybrid electrical power system located on an island is used to study the frequency response to various wind conditions and EV charging procedures and Fuzzy Logic Controller is used for the Better Frequency response and Faster settling time. The findings demonstrate that even a small portion of the total demand participating in frequency control can have a big influence.
