Abstract:
This study investigates the application of a Fractional Order Controller (FOC) for power control in AC islanded photovoltaic (PV) microgrids integrated with Electric Vehicles (EVs). The FOCs fractional calculus provides superior handling of dynamic variations and nonlinear characteristics inherent in microgrid systems compared to conventional controllers. Simulations conducted in MATLAB/Simulink illustrate enhanced performance metrics, including reduced overshoot and improved frequency stability. Hardware validation further supports its effectiveness in real world scenarios.

Keywords: Fractional Order Controller, Islanded Microgrid, Electric Vehicles, Photovoltaics, Power Stability, MATLAB Simulation
