Harmony search method for optimal wind turbine electrical generator design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Harmony Search (HS) method is an emerging meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, which has been employed to cope with numerous challenging tasks during the past decade. In this paper, the essential theory of the HS algorithm is first described in details. Next, a few typical variations of the HS method are explained. The application of the HS in a practical wind turbine electrical generator optimal design case study is finally presented. Computer simulation results have clearly demonstrated its remarkable performances in dealing with demanding optimization problems.

متن کاملImprovement of Frequency Fluctuations in Microgrids Using an Optimized Fuzzy P-PID Controller by Modified Multi Objective Gravitational Search Algorithm
Microgrids is an new opportunity to reduce the total costs of power generation and supply the energy demands through small-scale power plants such as wind sources, photo voltaic panels, battery banks, fuel cells, etc. Like any power system in micro grid (MG), an unexpected faults or load shifting leads to frequency oscillations. Hence, this paper employs an adaptive fuzzy P-PID controller for f...
