2. ABSTRACT
To analyze & improve the Power Quality of Microgrid.
Voltage, Frequency regulation and Power Sharing are the
main performance parameters.
Ant Colony Optimization is an intelligent searching
algorithm that is applied for real-time self-tuning of the
Power control parameters.

3. INTRODUCTION
Microgrid – Cluster of Distributed Generation (DG)
Units that are interfaced with Electrical Distribution
network using Power Electronic devices.
It is also defined as “Subsystem of Distributed Energy
Sources & their Associated Loads”
3
4. DISTRIBUTED GENERATION (DG)
Emerging concept to Decentralize the Management of
Electricity Production.
Seems Distributed Storage Energy System
Higher Operating Efficiency, Lower Emission level
Fuel Cells, PV Cells, Batteries, Micro turbine, Wind
turbine etc.

6. OPERATING MODES
GRID CONNECTED MODE
Here Micro sources are connected to the Grid.
They share the loads in Grid
AUTONOMOUS MODE
Bypass switch open – Autonomous Mode
Micro Sources feed system responsible for Nominal Voltage &
Frequency , Stability, when Power is Shared by Generation
Units.
TRANSITION MODE
Grid connected to Islanding mode Change of loads

8. ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION (ACO)
ACO – Natural behavior of Ant- develops mechanisms
of co-operation and learning
Population-based
stochastic optimization technique
developed by Dorigo & Stutzle in 1992
Fast convergence and efficient

9. ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION
Ants (blind) go through the food while laying down
pheromone trails
Shortest path is discovered via pheromone trails
each ant moves at random (first)
pheromone is deposited on path
Shorter path, more pheromone rails (positive feedback
system)
ants follow the intense pheromone trails

23. CONCLUSION & FUTURE WORK
Proposed controller shows excellence response
and the
simulation results validated that the Power quality enhancement
is attained.
Future enhancement is to carry out “Analysis of Harmonics” in
autonomous microgrid using ACO algorithm.
