A Novel Approach for Imroving Transient Stability and Frequency Regulation in Microgrid Systems Using CSO-Optimized FOTID Controller

This research presents a novel method that uses a Fractional Order Tilt-Integral-Derivative (FOTID) controller optimized with the Chaotic Salp Swarm Optimization (CSO) algorithm to improve frequency regulation and transient stability in interconnected microgrid (MG) systems. The study evaluates the performance of conventional controllers and the CSO-optimized FOTID controller across a range of conditions, including step load perturbations and the effects of renewable energy sources (RES). Experimental results demonstrate that the CSO-optimized FOTID controller outperforms conventional controllers, showcasing reduced overshoot, faster settling time, and improved dynamic response. The comparison values, presented in tables, quantitatively highlight the controller's superior performance metrics. The brief discussion emphasizes the significance of the achieved improvements and the potential of the proposed methodology in addressing challenges in MG control. In conclusion, the CSO-optimized FOTID controller proves effective in enhancing the transient stability of multi-area MG systems. The study contributes valuable insights into controller optimization for microgrid applications, opening avenues for further research in advanced optimization techniques and controller design.
