For an uninterrupted power supply, renewable energy promises to be a suitable alternative compared to the conventional sources. System delays or communication delays may cause significant synchronization imbalances between various components in big electrical grids. Since the properties of solar and wind generation constantly change with climatic circumstances, engineers encounter many difficulties when substituting sustainable power with conventional electricity. The computation delay margin may be leveraged to handle a time-delayed automatic generation control (AGC) system. In order to regulate a distributed hybrid renewable energy system in a three-area AGC configuration, this paper investigates the influence of the fractional integral order on the stable system’s delay parameter region. By changing the fractional order range, the delay margin can be increased, potentially broadening the time-delayed system’s stability region. The controller’s stability region has dependency on the order of fraction and the time delay. For this purpose, the asymptotic Bode diagram of the time-delayed fractional proportional-integral controller is determined. The gain and phase margins are used to calculate the delay margin for the application in discussion. The Honey Badger algorithm helps to adjust the controller parameters. It is also confirmed that the suggested controller is resilient to random load perturbations, nonlinearities, and parameter variations.
