An interval Type-2 fuzzy Fractional-Order PD-PI controller for frequency stabilization of islanded microgrids optimized with CO algorithm by Siavash Shirali, Saeed Zolfaghari Moghaddam, Mortaza Aliasghary

“…Different scenarios are considered in which the effect of the proposed controller on network frequency changes has been compared with two other controllers, i.e., interval type-2 fuzzy fractional-order tilt integral derivative (IT2FFOTID) and interval type-2 fuzzy fractional-order proportional integral derivative (IT2FFOPID) using several optimization methods. Simulation results demonstrate approximately 58.6% and 54.3% improvement in integral time absolute error (ITAE) compared to other two controllers, respectively, in a combined scenario. …”
