Abstract

The growing need for clean energy sources in power grids creates issues in effectively regulating fluctuations in power output which will disturb the system stability. The study involves a metaheuristic algorithm, namely the Horse Herd Algorithm (HOA), to maximize the distribution of power among the distributed energy sources. The optimization capabilities of the HOA along with a DNN based MPPT efficiently handle the challenges related to changing solar irradiation, battery state of charge (SOC), and shifting load needs. The effectiveness of the suggested PMS is analyzed using simulations. These simulations entail the comparison of DC bus voltage management with the conventional PMS techniques found in the literature. Moreover, the proposed technique with DNN-MPPT is validated by conducting real-time verification of the results using the OPAL- RT simulator. The DNN-MPPT-HOA-based PMS is highly effective in optimizing power sharing, leading to substantial improvements in microgrid efficiency, stability, and overall performance.
