In an isolated microgrid with hybrid wind, fuel cell (FC) with electrolyzer (EZ) and diesel generations, the intermittent wind power may cause the serious power fluctuation. In addition to the hydrogen production for FC, the EZ can be used to alleviate power fluctuation by control of the absorbed power. Nevertheless, the EZ may fail to suppress the power fluctuation due to the severe faults. To augment the EZ control performance, a power system stabilizer (PSS) which is assumed to be equipped with a diesel generator can be applied. This paper proposes the robust stabilization of isolated microgrid by EZ and PSS. The structure of power controller of EZ and PSS is a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. To improve the damping performance and robustness of EZ controller and PSS, the PID parameters of both EZ and PSS are simultaneously tuned based on the mixed H-2/H-infinity control by bee colony optimization. Simulation studies show that the stabilizing performance and robustness of the proposed EZ and PSS are superior to those of the individual device under system uncertainties such as various wind patterns, loading conditions and severe faults.
