This paper presents a fully optimized fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative with filter (FPIDF) load frequency controller (LFC) for enhancing the performance of a hybrid microgrid system. The Marine Predator Algorithm (MPA), a recent optimization algorithm, is used to optimize the gains as well as the input scaling factors and membership functions of the proposed fuzzy PIDF controller. The controller performance is tested on a two-area hybrid microgrid system containing various renewable energy sources and energy storage devices. The effectiveness of the MPA based FPIDF controller is compared with conventional PIDF and FPIDF controllers based on other heuristic techniques presented in literatures. Moreover, different scenarios are implemented in this study to verify the robustness and sensitivity of the proposed controller to different step load perturbations, system parameters variations, wind speed fluctuation and solar irradiance variation. The dynamic response of the system is compared using different controllers in terms of settling time, maximum overshoot and undershoot values. The results are presented in the form of time domain simulations conducted via MATLAB/SIMULINK.
