This paper presents a hybrid approach that combines a genetic algorithm (GA)-optimized type-2 fuzzy logic controller (T2FLC) with a fractional-order technique for enhanced control of a microgrid system. The T2FLC approach is employed to handle the inherent uncertainties in the microgrid due to fluctuating renewable energy inputs and varying loads. The GA optimizes the parameters of the designed FO-T2FLC approach, ensuring optimal performance under different operational conditions.

This system integrates PV panels with a DC-DC boost converter (DC-DC-BC) and the electrical distribution grid (DEG). Linking the PV to the AC-DEG is accomplished through a three-level multifunctional voltage source inverter (MVSI).

The WECS is a renewable energy source which has developed rapidly in recent years. The use of the WECS in the water pumping field is a free solution (economically) compared to the use of the electricity grid supply.
