An optimisation technique employing artificial bee colony algorithm has been proposed for determining the droop parameters of the distributed generators in a micro‐grid, operating in isolated mode. The proposed method minimises the active power loss and maintains a flat voltage profile. The bus interfacing the main and the micro‐grid has been treated as a voltage regulated bus so as to facilitate seamless transfer from the autonomous to the grid‐connected mode of operation and conversely.
