The research work presents a novel approach for the control of frequency in an islanded AC Microgrid (MG)system. Different renewable energy sources such as Solar energy and wind energy are combined together to form a MG system. Any parametric change in renewable sources creates fluctuations in frequency and power in a Micro grid system. Thus in order to suppress these types of disturbance, a suitable controller has to be designed. Thus in this research work, a Tilt integral derivative (TID) controller has been designed, for MG system, whose parameters are optimized and tuned with the help of a novel hybrid Grey Wolf and Cuckoo Search (HGW-CS) algorithm to overcome the difficulties. The proposed Micro Grid is based on distributed generators like Diesel Engine Generator (DEG), Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS), Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), Micro Turbine (MT), Fuel cell (FC) and Aqua-electrolyze (AE) are used in MG system to fulfill the load demand. The novel HGW-CS based TID controller is implemented in MG system and the robustness of the controller is investigated at different cases and it gives better performance with working well at any adverse situations. All the simulations are carried out with the help of MATLAB environment. It is depicted from the results that the proposed controller performs better than the conventional controllers. © 2023, Roman Science Publications and Distributions. All rights reserved.
