In the paper, the maiden application of Tilted Integral Fractional Derivative with Filter plus Fractional Derivative controller (TIDμ1NDμ2$TI{D^{{\mu _1}}}N{D^{{\mu _2}}}$), called TIFDNFD controller, is proposed to achieve load frequency control (LFC) of two area‐multi source power system. In the study, both areas include thermal power, hydropower, and gas turbine power systems. In this study, generation rate constraint and governor dead‐band are integrated into the power system to evaluate the performance of the controller in a non‐linear environment. The wild horse optimizer (WHO) is used for controller parameter tuning in the LFC problem for the first time. The performance of the proposed controller is demonstrated by comparing it with the recently published studies including different controllers. In this study, to obtain more realistic results, solar photovoltaic (PV) power, wind power, and load demand with stochastic form have been added to the power system. In addition, the dynamic effect of the hydrogen storage system, consisting of an electrolyser and a fuel cell, is considered a grid supporter. The superiority of the WHO algorithm in optimization has been verified by comparing it with three optimization algorithms recently proposed. Finally, the resilience and robustness of the power system are evaluated in perturbed system parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sustainability is important in voltage regulation control in grids and must be done successfully. In this paper, a novel tilt-fractional order integral-derivative with a second order derivative and low-pass filters controller, referred to as TIλDND2N2 controller, is proposed to enhance the control performance of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR). In this article, the equilibrium optimizer (EO) algorithm is used to optimally determine the eight parameters of the proposed controller. In this study, a function consisting of time domain specifications is used as the objective function. To evaluate the performance of the proposed controller, it is compared with the proportional-integral-derivative (PID), fractional order PID (FOPID), PID accelerator (PIDA), PID plus second order derivative (PIDD2), and hybrid controllers used in previous studies. Then, Bode analysis is performed to determine the achievement of the proposed controller in the frequency domain. Finally, the robustness test is realized to assess the response of the proposed controller against the deterioration of the system parameters. As a result, the proposed controller demonstrates outstanding control performance compared to studies in terms of settling time, rise time and overshoot. The proposed controller shows superior performance not only in frequency domain analysis but also in perturbed system parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
