Isolated and Interconnected Multi-Area Hybrid Power Systems: A Review on Control Strategies

Concerned with the increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to fossil fuels, the entire world is focusing on electricity generation through renewable energy resources. The most advantageous aspect of the distributed renewable sources is to provide the electricity to remote, scattered and the deprived rural areas by developing the hybrid power system at the smaller scale where power transmission through grid extension is not viable due to some economical, technical or environmental constraints for building new transmission lines. An accurate and adequate control strategy becomes inevitable to uphold the smooth operation by restraining the frequency and voltage deviation within its limit ensuring the highest degree of reliability of hybrid power system to provide an adequate power quality. In this paper, a comprehensive review of different control strategies adopted in isolated and interconnected multi-area hybrid power systems is presented.


Introduction
Electricity requirement at every inch of our life is indispensable whereas the consequences of using conventional sources of electricity are catastrophic. At the same time, the entire world is running out of available conventional energy resources at a very fast pace. The whole of mankind is trapped in the havoc of nature to enhance the living standard of every individual. Despite it, a significant chunk of the population across the world is deprived of electricity. It's really unfortunate that roughly 1.2 billion people worldwide did not have access to electricity in 2010 and the number has reduced from nearly 860 million in 2018 to 770 million in 2019 [1]. Despite this, the COVID-19 epidemic has reversed previous advances to 750 million in 2020. It has been estimated that by 2030, about 650 million people will be without power due to inadequate substantial and sustained growth in the energy sector [1]. Therefore, to maintain a balance between the development of society and the sustainability of upcoming lives, long-lasting substitutes are essential, and CO 2 − and pollution-free solutions are required at best [2,3].
The dearth of conventional energy resources and global warming lead the entire world towards harnessing other abundant available energy resources like solar, wind, geothermal, and many more. Since the last few decades, solar PV, solar thermal, and wind energy technologies have been highly encouraged and accepted worldwide to supply power to remote locations and save the environment. The term hybrid power system (HPS) refers to renewable energy with multiple types of generators, usually conventional diesel generators (DG), and renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV), wind change in frequency hardly affects the system voltage and change in voltage hardly affects the system frequency; but a small and medium-scale renewable energy-based power plant behaves differently. Here, both frequency and voltage are affected due to changes in any one of them. Therefore, simultaneous control of voltage and frequency becomes a rudimentary requirement to achieve quality power without interruptions in the power supply. To address the Grid Scheduled Blackouts (GSB) problem, a comprehensive model for a home PV-battery system using economic model predictive control-based strategies is preferred over complex mixed integer nonlinear programming problems. It is also accountable to the battery bank's charging state and lifetime to guarantee energy availability to cover the demand during blackout scenarios in the case of an interconnected HPS switched to islanded mode [11,12].
In this article, a literature review of HPSs in the presence of renewable energy units has been presented and appropriate control strategies have been suggested.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 covers a brief literature review on the components of HPSs technology covering energy-storing components, fast-acting devices, and plug-in electric vehicles. Section 3 projects the challenges of intermittency of RES and its available solutions in HPS. Section 4 presents energy management and demand response strategies in HPS. Section 5 presents a review of different controllers used in HPS. Finally, Sections 6 and 7 present the future research directions and conclusions, respectively.

Literature Review on Components of HPS
The usability of renewable resources may lead us to enjoy an almost pollution free environment. However, the natural atmospheric change affects the power quality of HPS in terms of voltage and frequency deviations. The most desirable concern about the HPS is to extract the energy of good quality at low cost and to supply to the customers efficiently and reliably. Therefore, maintaining frequency and voltage oscillations within the practical and reasonable limits is inevitable to supply quality power with the help of these sources.
A great deal of work has been previously reported to enhance the efficiency and to improve the quality of HPS comprising different renewable energy sources . A lot of research works are going on across the world to look for a new HPS technology for the last two decades [15][16][17][18]. A number of studies have given importance to the physical structure of the renewable power plant and its mathematical modeling [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. Such a case of isolated wind energy based HPS that relies on the relationships between the wind station size (WS)/location, variable reverse power flow (VRPF), and demand level is investigated with the constraint of the maximum feasible WS size and VRPF under zero, and are discussed for the active-reactive optimal power flow in the different demand scenarios to ensure energy losses [34,35].
Gradually, other renewable energy sources became part of HPS due to technological advancement and reduced cost of electricity generated by non-conventional energy sources. The installation of more complicated and networked devices for monitoring, communication, and control characterizes the digitalization trend. Adequate planning, flexible operations, and technology concerning controls, protection, cyber-physical dependencies, black start, resilience frameworks, markets, forecasting, and capacity expansion models are some significant gaps in areas of research that will aid in addressing these developments in an interlinked manner [59].
A brief literature review covering the significance and applicability of major components which are employed in HPS is covered in the next four subsections in this paper. These subsections include (a) Solar thermal renewable generating units, (b) Energy storing components, (c) Fast energy acting energy devices, and (d) Plug-in-Electric Vehicles (PEVs). The distribution of literature with the review of 162 papers listing all the major components employed in HPS is given below in Figure 1. Table 1 lists HPS references reported in literature according to the components.

Solar Thermal Renewable Generating Units in HPS
Nowadays, renewable sources like wind, PV solar power, solar thermal power, geothermal, and many more are playing a vital role in supplying power to distant locations as well as mainstream areas [16,17,27,28,39,45,47,[49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58]. From all renewable energy sources, solar thermal power is exceptionally facilitating and commonly deployed. Parabolic trough solar collector (PTC) is one of the most mature and tested solar thermal technologies with a substantial contribution possibility in the energy sector [59]. Spain is leading the way in combined solar thermal power with an installed capacity of 2370 MW, surpassed by the USA with a capacity of 1836 MW. In Spain, each plant (50 MW) supplies electricity to up to 2 million people and decreases CO 2 emissions by about 149 thousand tons a year relative to coal-fired power production, while in Solana, it provides enough electricity to about 71 thousand households and saves the environment from 42.7 thousand tons of carbon emission per year [60]. The application of Sewage Treatment Plant (STPS) with other sources as a HPS is essential in some of the following countries: Spain with biomass and Concentrated solar power (CSP) generation of 22.5 MW, South Africa with 271 MW of PV and CSP, USA with 76 MW of geothermal, PV and CSP, and Chile with 210 MW of PV generation and 410 MW of CSP generation [61]. PTC has a significant benefit in the thermal conservation of electricity. Its annual power factor is 25 to 28 percent without thermal energy storage (TES) and 29 to 43 percent without thermal energy storage (TES) [62]. Solar thermal energy storage types include sensitive heat storage, thermal chemical storage, and latent heat storage [63]. The advantages of TES over other energy storage technologies are lower capital costs and higher operating efficiency. A local renewable microgrid with solar photovoltaic, biodiesel and biogas generators, including battery storage, enhances the dispatch ability of the plant with high-value ancillary services such as spinning reserve [64]. Its dynamic performance needs to be studied before the implementation of PTC in HPS. A very few works of literature have reported the dynamic performance of PTC-based HPS [65,66].

Energy Storing Components
Most of the renewable energy sources have become an integral part of the main grid to supply the mainstream area [67][68][69]. The grid power should be of acceptable quality under stable operating conditions which may be compromised due to the high penetration of these sources in the main grid. However, this is very important for future generations to have better alternatives. Problems pertaining to having quality power can be overcome to some extent by the appropriate and efficient use of energy storage devices; like a future framework for grid integration of marine renewable energy, with one grid area being a huge interconnected grid area and the other being a smaller remotely connected island grid area. The system's versatility allows it to be modified for both large-scale and small-scale grid operations such as distant coastal villages, microgrids, and island HPS. When utilized in conjunction with other renewable sources, research shows that maritime energy can enhance storage capacity needs, especially in high renewable penetration situations. The degree and scope of that advantage, on the other hand, is highly dependent on several criteria, including location, profiles of other renewable resources, load profile, and availability, and the marine resources' persistence. Parametric studies are a critical initial step in analyzing such grid locations to plan the best renewable resource mix and storage technology [70]. The uncertainty of the non-conventional energy sources creates the importance of energy-storing components (ESCs). The significant importance of the storing devices is discussed in the number of simulation and real time-based articles wherein the used devices are Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES), Super-capacitor (SC), Ultra-capacitor (UC), Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), etc. [5,[17][18][19][20][21]25,31,45,47,61,[71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84].
In isolated HPS, ESCs are essential to bridge the gap between generation and demand by storing surplus power during higher penetration of the sources and delivering the stored power during the dearth of supply. In other words, it can be said that the natural intermittency of renewable energy sources will remain well manageable in the presence of ESCs. Many works ascertain the control of deviated frequency from its nominal figures by injecting or absorbing the active power through these devices [85][86][87][88]. In [85], PV based HPS is operated and controlled with the help of BESS. Here, the charging and discharging rate of the battery is the function of the variable loads. Variation in the loads decides the operational battery characteristics and thus controls the deviation in system parameters. Authors in [17] considered the battery as a dc link to support the system with active and reactive power and reduce the mismatch between load and the source. C. Tammineediin [86] has provided the significance of the battery in enhancing the performance of the system comprising non-conventional energy sources. Authors in [87] have ensured the system stability with greater flexibility in the planning of the HPS. At the same time, it approves the BESS's profitability and importance for diminishing frequency deviation. With the help of batteries, the capability to extract power from wind turbines has been significantly enhanced. Here, in literature [88], BESS has been used to manage the undisturbed transition of the power supply from the system consisting of an induction generator alone to the system consisting of a doubly fed induction generator and diesel-based synchronous generator. Therefore, it can be accepted that BESS has a vital position in HPS for smooth and continuous supply to the customers. A lot of studies are going on to enhance the capacity of the BESS at marginal expansion in its volume. There are some energy storage devices that provide a very fast response.

Fast Energy Acting Energy Devices Suitable for Frequency Control
Response time of the energy storage devices is equally important to settle down the deviations in the system parameters at a faster rate. The importance of response time opens up the places in HPS for the ultra-capacitor (UC) and super-capacitor (SC) to diminish the stability problems. These devices follow the load change instantly and very closely to reduce appreciable deviation in the supply frequency. Depending on the requirements, fast responding devices like SC and UC are considered in many papers [71][72][73][74]76] to restrict the system frequency deviation within its possible limits. These devices are costly as compared to the batteries but they have been used for many isolated systems because some of the systems are likely to experience appreciable transient oscillations immediately after perturbation. A number of systems require very fast-acting devices whose response time should be as low as possible. UC has demonstrated a significant performance in overcoming the transient disturbances immediately, which has been discussed in [39,71]. The energy density of UC is undoubtedly very large as compared to the battery. The use of this device provides an instantaneous energy supply to any isolated system as it takes a lot less time to charge and also to discharge. Meanwhile, the efficiency of its cycle for charging and discharging is very high, which removes the transient spikes in the system in no time and regains a new stable equilibrium point for its operation faster. However, it provides the energy for a shorter duration of time which cannot give active and reactive power support to the system for a longer time period. In [39], the authors illustrate the dynamic behavior of the ultra-capacitor by developing the MATLAB/Simulink model of PV solar power with fuel cell in combination with UC. UC has fulfilled rapid load demand change for short intervals where Fuel cells (FC) could not respond to the load immediately. In [66], BESS and FC combined with UC is developed as HPS in which the energy devices respond to the system according to the defined priority. Here, the UC acts before FC because FC is slower than UC. UC is mainly used for the initial response to remove the transient oscillations from the system. The authors have considered the UC to remove the ripples from the system during the transient ensuring reduction in the heat and the loss in the battery due to ripples [71]. A significant amount of work has been done related to UC mainly to overcome the transient instability.
In addition to UC/SC, there is another energy storing device known as SMES which is much faster than UC/SC. SMES responds to the load quickly as it stores the energy in the form of the magnetic field. SMES has been applied with the HPS comprising of wind turbine generator and diesel generator mainly for controlling the power deviation at the initial stage [14]. As the transient time period is over, the Diesel Generator (DG) starts acting as a backup source and fulfills the demand [82]. The author has attempted to show the overview of different types of applications of SMES [83]. Its use in the power system clearly shows the potential of SMES where it has been signified that the SMES is very much cost-effective. Oscillation in the power and frequency of the grid due to insertion of the renewable energy sources can be significantly minimized through SMES because it has higher power density as compared to that of all other energy storing devices [80]. Renewable energy source with SMES has been realized as a dispatchable unit in this paper because of its higher power density only. Authors in [81] have shown the potential of SMES for the attenuation of power and frequency oscillations. The voltage source converter-based SMES smoothens the power supply of wind turbine generators which can provide quality power to the customers [82]. The intermittency of the renewable energy sources causing a large excursion in the frequency has been minimized at a very initial stage with the help of SMES in [84]. All the above papers related to the use of SMES in different proposed systems have clearly figured out that the power controlling capability of the SMES is very much appreciable. In addition to all the energy storing devices, Fuel Cell (FC) and Aqua-electrolyzer (AE) also play a very significant role in mitigating the oscillations in the system parameters. Some research in [71,72,74,78,79] has highlighted the requirements of FC from the economic point of view.

Plug-in-Electric Vehicles
The entire world must grow with pollution-free technology. That's why naturefriendly technology is being given the utmost importance across the globe. Plug-in-Electric Vehicles (PEVs) can be regarded as one of them. The introduction of Plug-in-Electric Vehicles (PEVs) up to some extent can restore the pure atmospheric scenario. Meanwhile, the problems associated with the power system can also be resolved. Vehicles employed with the battery having higher energy density are nowadays participating in controlling the power flow of the power system. The dynamic model of Plug-in-Electric Vehicles has been developed to regulate the system frequency [89]. A large number of PEVs are available for the PEVs station, which provides regular and accurate signals to the PEVs to be connected or disconnected from the station as per the requirement. The EVs aggregator shares the proper information between EV and the controlling unit of the power system to maintain the system frequency. Authors have used the EVs as a secondary frequency controller to control the frequency of the main grid [90]. The same author has proposed the PEVs as the primary frequency controller for the isolated system as well. Authors in [91] have addressed the technical issues associated with the grid when the PEVs are penetrated in a very large amount. Due to the large number of PEVs, a huge power burden will be there on the grid that can be considered as one of the threats to the stable power system operation. The author has mentioned the clear demarcation in between loss and benefits and finally accepted that the proper coordination may keep the system under stable operation along with PEVs. A comparison between generalized and optimized patterns changing has been addressed in the work reported in [92] and has shown that the optimized pattern of charging is very much cost-effective and very much reliable. PEVs along with water heaters in distributed generation systems are also cost-effective and useful in limiting the frequency of excursions [93]. The authors in [94,95] have mentioned the requisites of PEVs to control the frequency of the isolated system based on renewable energy sources.

Intermittency of RES in HPS, Consequent Voltage Fluctuation, and Its Solutions
Another challenging issue for any power system is to control the voltage deviation. Voltage deviation in the system may happen due to a mismatch between source and load reactive power. The deviation in reactive power may lead the system voltage to go beyond or down from its rated value with a large difference. In other words, the system will suffer from problems like overvoltage and under-voltage. Overvoltage is an issue that often results in the insulation failure of the equipment whereas under voltage is a critical issue to be regularly monitored because it may lead to the total system collapse.
The problems aforementioned are apparently encountered in the HPS erected on the basis of renewable energy sources because they are highly intermittent. To harness energy from them, due to their intermittency, there is a need for generators that should operate at variable speed, so the induction generators are mostly considered for HPS consisting of RESs; but the induction generators have a drawback in that they require energy for their field excitation, resulting in a voltage drop at its terminal. Authors in [96] specify that the wind turbine is connected with an induction generator sometimes called an asynchronous generator for its operation. However, the diesel engine is also connected along with the induction generator as a backup source. Dish Stirling solar power (DSP) and wind turbine power have resemblance in their operations; hence, an asynchronous generator (Squirrel cage induction generator-SCIG) has been used for establishing a DSP power plant [97][98][99]. The authors in [100][101][102] have discussed the induction generators and their impacts on the system in the form of voltage stability. The paper [100] is one of the review papers in which the use of induction generators with renewable energy sources has been comprehensively discussed. In a literature survey in [90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100], the authors have clearly stated that the induction generators are of utmost importance for the HPS based on non-conventional energy sources; in the meanwhile, they have figured out that SCIG is the better option for these unpredictable sources. The advantages of SCIG are mentioned as simple construction, low maintenance cost, and being highly rugged in nature; but it requires reactive power for its operation, which may vary the terminal voltage and increase the voltage stability problems. Moreover, the power factor and efficiency of the system are also reduced [103]. To improve the voltage regulation of the system, SCIG has been replaced by PMIG in [93], because PMIG does not require reactive power for its field excitation. Electromagnetic poles are replaced by permanent magnetism in a permanent magnet induction generator (PMIG) which provides flux without any source of excitation. PMIG is superior to SCIG to provide voltage stability and reactive power support. PMIG delivers power at a higher efficiency to the grid even when the grid faces an unbalance in the voltage because PMIG has a higher power density and the negative sequence of the magnetic flux hardly affects PMIG [104]. The higher power density reduces its size and the inrush current; simultaneously, its responses at steady-state and transient disturbances are better as compared to IG [105]; but PMIG is mechanically weaker and costly [106]. In addition to PMIG, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) also has a better performance in HPS. Solid-state devices are used for their superior input, thermal characteristics to others because of the absence of field winding or the loss in the field winding which ultimately increases its efficiency, and its power density as compared to its weight is comparatively higher, which improves the dynamic behavior of PMSG [104,107,108].
Along with the employment of different competent generators, the voltage stability margin can be increased significantly with the justified use of different Voltage Controlling Devices (VCDs). VCDs mitigate the reactive power mismatch to restore the nominal voltage of the system. Different VCDs have been used for the isolated HPSs like Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), Static Var Compensator (SVC), Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC), and Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) [104,[108][109][110][111][112][113]. The application of SVC, STATCOM, and DVR become important for HPS, because these devices provide a faster dynamic response for stability enhancement [114][115][116]. Moreover, these devices reduce system power loss and harmonics. At a low voltage level, it can be operated over its full output current. Thanks to the advent of power electronic devices, the cost of SVC, STATCOM, and DVR is expected to come down.
Voltage regulation of the SVC-based HPS was addressed in [105,117,118] and the response is basically viable. However, this mechanism has been considered a controller for SVC when the DG's excitation system is still set and cannot be assumed as a properly integrated approach. The researchers of [115] developed a similar form of simulation model to see device responses under SVC where different controllers are used for SVC and AVR for proper and realistic synchronization in the system.
Another reactive power control pertaining to the isolated hybrid system using STATCOM in presence of PMIG has been investigated in [116,119]. In this work also, the parameters of the STATCOM controllers were optimized, keeping the parameters of AVR constant. Moreover, the parameters of the STATCOM controller were optimized considering variable wind power with step reactive power load change. To include realistic features, the parameters (i.e., the controller parameters of the STATCOM and AVR) should have been optimized simultaneously considering random variations of load reactive power as well as variable reactive power absorbed by IG.
DVR attenuates the deviation in the voltage significantly and has the ability to provide the required amount of voltage support for the proper functioning of the system. The voltage is injected in series with the line through a transformer at different phase angles [117]. DVR plays a vital role in mitigating the voltage deviation that is why this device is used in removing the problems pertaining to voltage sags and swells. However, the application of DVR in HPS for voltage stabilization is depicted in [120]. The representation of different voltage compensating devices for renewable integrated HPS is displayed in Table 2. voltage is injected in series with the line through a transformer at different phase angles [117]. DVR plays a vital role in mitigating the voltage deviation that is why this device is used in removing the problems pertaining to voltage sags and swells. However, the application of DVR in HPS for voltage stabilization is depicted in [120].

Energy Management and Demand Response in HPS
Different generating units with different auxiliary devices are considered to develop the HPS according to the location and the climate which have been mentioned in the above literature surveys. A number of studies [20][21][22][23][24][25] have discussed the mathematical modeling of the HPS. According to the load, the size (rating) of the power system is also very important to be taken care of. The issues related to the size of the power system have been addressed in [26,27]. In [27], the authors have discussed the unit sizing method to calculate the size of different subsystems considered in the system which will help to minimize the variance between generated renewable power and demanded loads over a span of time. The size of the different subsystems is also depicted in [27]. Besides the system development according to the requirements, the proper control strategies also form a significant part of the system for smooth operation, which is addressed in a number of studies [38][39][40][41]. Nowadays, energy and power management have also been a crucial part of controlling the deviation in the system parameters. In other words, it can be said that the customers' active involvement in the power system can play a very important role in system control. Authors in [75,121] have regarded energy management as one of the important tools for providing good quality of power to the customers.
These days, demand response schemes (DRS) have established a clear recognition in frequency control [122,123]. During typical grid operations, current transactive controllers use marginal gains and marginal costs to enhance economic market efficiency. However, because system operations during contingencies are typically governed by technical needs vide the required amount of voltage support for the proper functioning of the system. The voltage is injected in series with the line through a transformer at different phase angles [117].

Nowadays, energy and power management have also been a crucial part of controlling the deviation in the system parameters. In other words, it can be said that the customers' active involvement in the power system can play a very important role in system control. Authors in [75,121] have regarded energy management as one of the important tools for providing good quality of power to the customers.
These days, demand response schemes (DRS) have established a clear recognition in frequency control [122,123]. During typical grid operations, current transactive controllers use marginal gains and marginal costs to enhance economic market efficiency. However, because system operations during contingencies are typically governed by technical needs DVR attenuates the deviation in the voltage significantly and has the ability to provide the required amount of voltage support for the proper functioning of the system. The voltage is injected in series with the line through a transformer at different phase angles [117]. DVR plays a vital role in mitigating the voltage deviation that is why this device is used in removing the problems pertaining to voltage sags and swells. However, the application of DVR in HPS for voltage stabilization is depicted in [120].

These days, demand response schemes (DRS) have established a clear recognition in frequency control [122,123]. During typical grid operations, current transactive controllers use marginal gains and marginal costs to enhance economic market efficiency. However, because system operations during contingencies are typically governed by technical needs rather than simply economic factors, the transactive mechanisms established for normal economic operations cannot be readily adapted to contingencies such as black start and system recovery by using resource commitment along with service recovery approach in case of HPS [124,125]. Devices used in DRS are normally non-critical loads (NCL) like air conditioners, freezes, different types of electric water heaters (EWH), and so on. In addition, different control strategies are developed in DRS which are as follows: linear quadratic regulator (LQR), H∞ control, hill-climbing method, and so on [126,127]. Most of the above methods are used for an isolated system. In [116], DRS is also implemented to control the frequency of the interconnected areas with non-conventional energy resources [128][129][130][131][132][133][134][135][136], where the application of DRS for concurrent frequency and voltage stabilization is established in [137].

Different Controllers Adopted in HPS
To control all of the HPS's devices below their functional limits, proper synchronization between them must be established. As a result, the HPS are controlled using various traditional controls such as Proportional (P), Proportional-Integral (PI), and Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID), as defined in [45,48,50,67,68,74,100,102,104,109,116,117,[138][139][140][141][142][143]. Other controllers, like the H∞ controller, A Two Degree of Freedom (2DOF) PI/PID controllers, fractional-order (FO) based controllers, and double stage controller, are often included in several of the cases discussed in [129,130,[143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151][152][153] as listed in Table 3 below. Figure 2 shows the overall control strategy for the hybrid power system along with conventional and non-conventional renewable energy sources. Identifying an appropriate optimization tool for tuning of the controllers is no less important. To this end, many researchers [5,15,45,46,67,68,103,111,[137][138][139][140][141][142][143][144]148,[154][155][156][157][158][159][160] have obtained optimum performance of HPS using different intelligent techniques such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Fuzzy Logic Control, Yellow Saddle Goatfish Algorithm (YSGA), Butterfly Optimization Technique (BOA) and so on. A number of papers have been published in the past few years that focus on the application of PSO as well as Cuckoo Search (CS). PSO technique has been applied in solving several types of optimization problems, for example, highly nonlinear, highly complex, discontinuous, non-differentiable problems [142]. Cuckoo search is a new meta-heuristic search algorithm inspired by the obligate brood parasitic behavior of some cuckoo species, developed by Xin-she Yang and Suash Deb [143,144]. It has been reported that it is capable of outperforming other optimization techniques [144] like GA. Social Spider Optimizer (SSO) [5] is used in two area hybrid systems. To control the frequency of isolated HPS, the Flower Pol- lination Algorithm (FPA) and Firefly Algorithm (FA) is used. AGC has enabled the use of the Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA), Differential Evolution (DE) [157], and Teaching Learning Based Optimization [136]. Sadollah, Ali et. al developed the mine blast algorithm (MBA) as a more recent meta-heuristic algorithm [159,161], which has also been used to optimize controller parameters, and their output has been compared to that of CS and PSO. MBA was considered by the authors in [155,161] to tune the controllers' parameters to regulate the voltage and frequency of the unit. For reactive power analysis of an isolated HPS consisting of the dish-Stirling solar power system (DSP), PSP, diesel engine generator (DEG), static VAR compensator (SVC), static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), and dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) have been conducted [115][116][117]. A diesel engine coupled to a synchronous generator equipped with Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR), DSP is connected to an induction generator (IG) and PSP is connected to permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The parameters of the PI controllers, employed with AVR, SVC, STATCOM, and DVR, are optimized using the mine blast algorithm (MBA) [159,161,162]. Additionally, the HPS has been investigated under SVC, STATCOM, and DVR, where DVR outperforms the other two [113,116]. (1) Effective in practical application. (2) Very useful to solve the continuous problem.
It does not perform well for the discrete and multi-objective problem. (4) It faces problems in adaptability and optimal search results.
Need more computational time. [126,127,150] FPA and FA, hill-climbing method (1) Very simple to get the solution. (2) Increase linking connection.
Effectively recognize the optimal mean policies via an adjustable learning rate. (4) Higher elapsed time.
Provide results with the minimum number of control parameters. [155,159,161,162] (1) Enhanced convergence speed.Better searching ability leads to improved exploration. (2) Reduced function value.
In light of the literature survey, this section presents three area hybrid power systems (3A-HPS) based on three different renewable energy sources like WTG, PSP, and PV arrays in all three areas, respectively, along with DGs as a backup source of supply. WTG, PSP, and PV arrays are associated with superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES), ultra-capacitor (UC), and BESS. Different controllers like PID, PID with filters (PIDN), and two degrees of freedom PID (2DOF-PID) controllers are employed separately at a time with DEG, BESS, SMES, and UC so as to adjust the output power in response to the change in loading and or output power variation of renewable sources. The parameters of the controllers are optimized using Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Mine Blast Algorithm (MBA). Figure 3 presents three area 3A-HPS based on three different renewable energy sources like WTG, PSP, and PV arrays in all three areas respectively along with DGs as a backup source of supply. PSP and PV arrays are associated with biogas power systems (BGPS). PEVs are connected in each area in place of the energy storage devices to dynamically participate to overcome the cost-related issues and climatic disturbances. The system consists of a solar photovoltaic array and a hybrid solar-thermal with Biogas power, which also is intended to obtain electricity from the community's biodegradable waste. A biodiesel generator and battery storage are both included in the system to cope with power variability [147,150]. Additionally, the comparative performance of 3A-HPS in the presence and the absence of PEVs have been investigated under step and random variation in the generation and in the load. It reveals that PEVs associated with HPS perform better in mitigating the power and frequency deviation [82][83][84].

Future Research Directions
The analysis of voltage and frequency control of multi-area HPS comprising of WTG, PSP, DSP, and DG in the presence of BESS, SMES, and UC, WTG, PSP, DSP along with DG in the presence of Static Var Compensator (SVC), static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), and dynamic voltage restorer (DVR), have been trends of research for over a decade. Most of the works follow conventional PID controllers' optimization to contain voltage oscillations, where some advanced control stratagems are essential with some other novel RESs. Considering the above literature review, the scope of the research that should be highlighted is pointed out herewith:

•
Analysis of some novel RESs and their participation in concurrent voltage-frequency (v-f) stabilization of HPS. • Incorporation of deregulation in the HPS's voltage-frequency regulation is the future possible solution that needs to be explored, where a participation matrix was formed to interact between generation and distribution companies.

•
In continuation of the above research, a different control stratagem is needed to stabilize and enhance the single/multi-area HPS network system dynamics. • Implementation of some maiden controllers' (i.e., triple-layer, cascaded tilt integral derivative) optimization approach, which could stabilize the system dynamics under different uncertainties. • Formulation of some new fitness function (J) index to regulate the system dynamics in a better fashion, where weight factor put a significant role on enhancing the dynamic system responses.
• Application of machine learning approach in concurrent v-f stabilization needs to be explored. • Development of virtual-physical HPS and its coordinated control phenomenon.

•
Establishing an optimal control strategy to identify different faults and protect the renewable HPS network.

•
The communication design for coordinated control of different components in HPS can be further explored. • Impact of different cyber-attacks on HPS networks can be studied. Furthermore, mitigation strategies against cyber-attacks in HPS can be formulated.
Further, to improve the system dynamics, the utilization of virtual inertia control (VIC) could be a future possible solution that needs to develop. To guarantee that prospective electrical grids are sustainable, economical, reliable, and self-healing, it is expected to resolve all of the simultaneous emerging shifts and transformations in the electrical grid with practical, statistical, proven, and integrative studies and research.

Conclusions
A thorough analysis of the literature provided a great deal of information regarding the erection of the isolated HPS comprised of RESs. It can be realized that RESs are the important solution to fulfill the energy crisis at the minimum level of pollution. RESs, which are not thoroughly investigated to develop the HPS, can be considered and realized. It can be clearly figured out that the characteristics of the RESs impact the system stability in the form of voltage and frequency oscillations which require economical and robust control strategies. A system developed with the help of RESs and different ESCs requires a proper coordinating control mechanism which can be achieved by selecting the appropriate and intelligent soft computing algorithms like Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA), and Mine Blast Algorithm (MBA). The selection of the optimal parameters of the controllers under the influence of soft computing techniques according to the problems defined is essential to restore the system's stability. The considered HPS is likely to undergo large excursions in the voltage and frequency due to the uncertainty and random nature of the solar irradiances, temperature, and the wind velocity of the wind turbine. A solution to compensate for the randomness of the supply of RESs, better controlling actions are required. Throughout the work has been analyzed how simultaneous control of voltage and frequency of HPSs consisting of RESs of different nature is one of the challenging assignments, where MBA-based 2DOF PID controllers outperform other controlling strategies. Thus, it can be said that the MBA-based 2DOF PID controller may be a viable option for controlling any hybrid power system. Abovementioned controlling schemes could be expected to have a great degree of reliability and controllability from all the practical and technical aspects. The considered system with this controlling scheme would be realizable and acceptable within all the practical constraints.
