Abstract: Microgrid integration introduces fast, stochastic disturbances that challenge frequency stability. This paper presents a two-degree-of-freedom fractional-order proportional tilt integral derivative plus one controller (2DOF-FOPTID+1) tuned with a Modified Walrus Optimization Algorithm (MWA) to mitigate frequency deviations while preserving tracking performance. The novelty lies in jointly deploying a 2DOF-FOPTID+1 structure for decoupled tracking and regulation, an MWA-based tuning strategy tailored for resilient frequency control, and the explicit use of aggregated electric vehicles as fast distributed storage to damp frequency and tie-line power excursions; hardware-in-the-loop validation using an OPAL-RT platform is included to demonstrate practical feasibility. The controller is evaluated under step and random load variations, and robustness is examined for ± 25 % parameter perturbations and stochastic renewable inputs. Compared with the strong baselines PID, FOPID, 2DOF-PID, and FOPTID, the proposed approach reduces settling time by up to 39.27% and lowers peak-to-peak frequency deviation by about 20.88% under these operating scenarios, indicating a practical and effective solution for enhancing frequency resilience in microgrid-integrated power systems.
