Region Search Optimization Algorithm for Economic Energy Management of Grid-Connected Mode Microgrid

Economic energy management of grid-connected microgrid has been widely investigated. However, due to the binary variables of the generation unit’s status, the optimal result of the grid-connected microgrid is very hard. Thus, in this paper, the region search optimization algorithm (RSOA) is developed and adopted for the energy management of the grid-connected microgrid. The developed technique has higher convergence speed and accuracy, compared to the well-known heuristic techniques, such as genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization. Results shows the effectiveness of the developed model.
