Improving microgrid frequency stability through PI-PIDA-driven STATCOM optimization using a hybrid metaheuristic algorithm (2025)
Journal Article

Frequency instability caused by symmetrical and asymmetrical faults in a microgrid can cause significant oscillations and deviations from the nominal frequency. Therefore, there is a need to develop new control methods to ensure the rapid stabilizati...
