Using the Harmony Search Algorithm
Published on 2025-03-10 by Gulcihan Ozdemir, Pierluigi Siano, Smitha Joyce Pinto, Mohammed AL-Numay @MDPI
Abstract: A coordinated control for the volt-var optimization (VVO) problem is presented using load tap changer transformers, voltage regulators, and capacitor banks with the integration of a PV-based microgrid. The harmony search (HS) algorithm, which is a metaheuristic-based optimization algorithm, was used to determine global optimum settings of related devices to operate efficiently under changing conditions. The major objectives of volt-var optimization were to reduce power losses, peak power demands[...]

Design and Experimental Validation of a Battery/Supercapacitor Hybrid Energy Storage System Based on an Adaptive LQG Controller
Published on 2024-12-25 by Jhoan Alejandro Montenegro-Oviedo, Carlos Andres Ramos-Paja, Martha Lucia Orozco-Gutierrez, Edinson Franco-Mej�a, Sergio Ignacio Serna-Garc�s @MDPI
Abstract: Hybrid energy storage systems (HESSs) are essential for adopting sustainable energy sources. HESSs combine complementary storage technologies, such as batteries and supercapacitors, to optimize efficiency, grid stability, and demand management. This work proposes a semi-active HESS formed by a battery connected to the DC bus and a supercapacitor managed by a Sepic/Zeta converter, which has the aim of avoiding high-frequency variations in the battery current on any operation condition. The conver[...]
Our summary: Sustainable energy sources require efficient hybrid energy storage systems. This work introduces a semi-active HESS with an adaptive LQG controller that outperforms traditional PI and LQG controllers. The proposed system optimizes grid stability by efficiently managing high and low-frequency components of battery power. Experimentally validated control strategy ensures system adaptability to changing operating conditions.
