Autonomous microgrids (ATMG), with green power sources, like solar and wind, require an efficient control scheme to secure frequency stability. The weather and locationally dependent behavior of the green power sources impact the system frequency imperfectly. This paper develops an intelligent, i.

This research deals with a fractional-order proportional derivative - (one + fractional order integrator) (FOPD-(1+FOI)) cascade controller as a novel control structure to ameliorate the execution of automatic generation control (AGC) for the LFM of interconnected power system (PS). The implementation of this controller is uncomplicated, and it joins the output of the FOPD controller to (1+FOI) controller, where area control error and power error are considered in the outer and inner feedback control loops, respectively.

For LFM, this brief deals with the introduction of proportional-integral-derivative with filter - (one plus integral), i.e.

The ISMG system consists of solar photovoltaic (SPV), wind turbine generator (WTG), diesel engine generator (DEG) as distributed power generation (PG), and battery and flywheel as energy storage systems (ESSs). An improved incremental conductance (I-InC) maximum power point (MPP) tracking (MPPT) scheme, and a fuzzy wind power generation model (FWPGM) are utilized to obtain the power from solar, and wind energy systems respectively.
