Abstract

The accurate analysis and controller design for high-order systems are important issues. In this paper, a design of controller is suggested to Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) System in which its order is reduced by the proposed self-adaptive Firefly Algorithm (FA). First, the dynamic adaption to the dominant parameters of the standard FA is proposed for overcoming its disadvantages and improving its ability in searching the global optimum solution with application to reduce the model order of SMIB. The parameters which are proposed to self-adaption are both of the light absorption based on the mean distance of fireflies’ positions and the step setting based on the fitness information to the status of preceding firefly and the current fireflies. Second, proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller is suggested to be designed by pole zero cancellation method via the step response characteristics of the reduced-order SMIB to be applied to its high order. The efficiency of the proposed methods is tested on high-order SMIB to get its corresponding low order and to control it. The experimental results prove the efficacy of self-adaptive FA compared to the standard FA and the methods in the literature in terms of step response characteristics using error indices. The proposed methods assure the stability of the reduced order and the ability of the designed controller to handle both high and low-order model.
