    Metaheuristic method for energy management of microgrid
    (UMT, Lahore, 2022) MARYAM AYAZ
    This thesis proposes the use of metaheuristic optimization techniques to minimize the operating cost of Micro-Grid Energy Management System (MG EMS). The primary contribution of this research is the implementation of these techniques to provide an efficient and cost-effective solution for managing the energy in micro-grids. The optimization strategy aims to achieve the global optimum solution by considering time of use (TOU) and renewable energy sources. The goal is to decrease expenses related to energy and improve the effectiveness of energy usage. The proposed optimization strategy is a crucial aspect of this research as it seeks to improve the economic viability and sustainability of micro-grids. By minimizing the operating cost, the system's overall performance can be enhanced, ensuring reliable and durable operation. The implementation of metaheuristic optimization techniques will also help in overcoming the limitations of conventional optimization methods by enabling the system to search for solutions more efficiently and effectively. I utilized the Symbiotic Organisms Search Algorithm (SOS) for my thesis to minimize the operating cost of Micro-Grid Energy Management System (MG EMS). Compared to different well-established optimization algorithms, SOS outperformed in optimizing the operating cost of MG EMS. The results of this research can be used to inform policymakers and energy management professionals about the potential benefits of using metaheuristic optimization techniques in micro-grids. The proposed approach can be used as a reference for future research in the field of energy management systems. It has the potential to contribute to the development of more cost-effective and efficient energy management models for micro-grids, thus enhancing the overall sustainability of the energy sector
