Development of Load Frequency Control of Two Area Interconnected Network Incorporated with Distributed Energy Sources

Adamu, Ahmed Kana*, Abdullahi Bala Kunya, A.S. Abubakar

The frequency of power systems is highly sensitive to load changes, and the increasing integration of distributed energy sources (DESs) further complicates frequency stabilization. To address these challenges, Load Frequency Control (LFC) is implemented to maintain frequency within acceptable limits. This work proposes a grasshopper optimization algorithm based on proportional integral derivative ...

Underground Fault Detection and Classification: An Explainable, SCADA-Ready Pipeline with Adaptive DWT and Compact CNN-Transformer

Kabiru Ibrahim Dahiru*, Abubakar Ahmed, Sulaiman Haruna Sulaiman, Yusuf Idris, Aliyu Lawan Musa, Ibrahim Mahdi

Underground faults are difficult to detect and classify reliably because transient signatures are short-lived, dispersive, and often masked by operating noise. Deployment in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) environments demands deterministic, sub-millisecond latency and transparent decision logic. This research presents an explainable, SCADA-ready pipeline that couples adaptive dis...

MODULAR MULTILEVEL CONVERTER WITH STATEFEEDBACK CONTROLLER FOR HARMONICS SUPPRESSION

A. U,Lawan*, Abubakar Abdulkarim, G.S. Shehu, A. Kunya, I.S Madugu

Control of submodule capacitor voltages and the circulating current within modularmultilevel converter (MMC) is essential to MMC performance. The circulating current hasan influence on the losses, rating of the power devices and voltage ripple. The circulatingcurrent tends to have csurrent harmonics due to the voltage disturbance on the submodulecapacitor voltages. To decrease the influence of the...

APPLICATION OF WHALE OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM (WOA) FOR DISTRIBUTION NETWORK RECONFIGURATION SCHEME FOR POWER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT

A Bukar*, Gbenga Abidemi Olarinoye, Y. Jibril

Electrical power distribution networks (DN) are usually designed and operated in a radial configuration, but their topology, especially when highly loaded, is often meshed in order to improve system reliability and quality of the supply. This makes it feasible to alter the network topology after an outage to restore the service to affected areas. In addition, various power quality indicators can b...
