“…In recent years, researchers have explored many techniques and optimization approaches for effective load frequency control of microgrid power structures. Literature shows that various soft computing schemes have been employed for this purpose such as neural networks [3], fuzzy logic [4], adaptive neuro-fuzzy logic control [5], Fractional order controller [6], Grey wolf optimization [7], differential evolution [8], particle swarm optimization [9], ant colony optimization [10], artificial bee colony [11], hybrid optimization [12], imperialist competitive algorithm [13], genetic algorithm [14,15], teaching-learning based optimization [16][17][18][19], cohort intelligence optimization [20][21][22][23][24]. The following section 2 gives details of the multi-power interconnected microgrid architecture considered for load frequency control in the present study.…”
