N2 - Wind power's increasing use and its integration into the utility grid have prompted scholars to focus more on the refinement of wind power harvesting systems, injecting stable power and providing ancillary services to the utility grid. This article introduces a novel hybrid approach termed as sine cosine algorithm and transient search optimization (HSCATSO) optimizer of better exploration and exploitation phases for optimal designing the power electronic converter control schemes (PECCS) of the grid-tied variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) system. The PECCS is simultaneously coordinated with a robust maximum power extraction algorithm (MPEA) to form enhanced control systems for achieving the best wind harnessing, improving the VSWT system performance, and supporting the utility grid stability. In this context, the HSCATSO optimally designs the PECCS parameters based on minimizing the summation of integral squared error (ISE) of multiple error signals in the developed control schemes in coordination with the MPEA. The superiority of the HSCATSO optimizer is validated using twenty benchmark functions and statistically analysed against four well-known optimization algorithms. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of the optimally designed PECCS using the HSCATSO is verified by the extensive simulation analysis in MATLAB/Simulink considering severe grid disturbance and real wind speed data taken from Kudat, Sabah, Malaysia to mimic realistic circumstances. The obtained results have been compared with that realized using the other algorithms-based design PECCS. The simulation outcomes affirmed that the PECCS designed by the HSCATSO and coordinated with MPEA resulted in higher power harvesting and enhanced the grid-tied VSWT system stability better than the competitive control schemes.
