abstract = "Microgrids are gaining traction by the generation of cleaner and reasonably priced electrical energy which utilizes renewable energy sources. Wind is one of the RES which has significant potential, though its operation and restricted due to variability in wind speed as the day progresses. To address the challenges of inconsistency and ensure a continuous supply to customers, a diesel engine generation system can be a viable solution. This research paper presents the design of diverse proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers to coordinate energy generation with load demand, thereby stabilizing the operation of the microgrid under varying operating conditions. The performance of the PID controllers is evaluated through the calculation of controller gains and by analysis of different error measures. Also investigated in this research is the impact of diverse energy storage devices (ESDs) in combination with the PID controllers for the microgrid. Observation within the results has shown that PIL-PID with the redox flow battery outperformed the other controllers and ESDs. This combination would benefit the microgrid for various working conditions.",
