Abstract: The article presents the effectiveness of a Binary Dragonfly Algorithm (BDA) based 3-DOF controller for robust frequency control in an islanded AC micro-grid system under different uncertainties. A micro-grid is incorporated with the integration of various renewable energy based distributed generations (DG). The proposed micro-grid system is structured with wind turbine generator (WTG), Photo voltaic (PV) system, Diesel engine generator (DEG), Micro-turbines (MT), Aqua electrolyzer based Fuel Cells(FC) and with few energy storage devices i.e Battery energy storage (BES) and Flywheel energy storage (FES). Moreover a chargeable plug in electric vehicle is effected as load side demand while obtaining frequency control mechanism in micro-grid system. However large dynamics, low inertia and incurred uncertainties of most DG system affects system performance especially on system frequency seriously. In view of this to obtain robust control mechanism in islanded micro-grid system the article proposes a novel Binary Dragonfly Algorithm based 3-DOF controller to ensure servicing of good quality power to remote consumers. The performances of proposed BDA optimized 3-DOF controller is compared with conventional PSO, GA technique based PID and PI controller in order to justify supremacy of proposed approaches. Finally it has been suggested that the proposed BDA optimized 3-DOF controller is more effectiveness over other optimized controllers.
