In this paper a new evolutionary algorithm based on the region search evolutionary algorithm (RSEA) is developed for optimal energy management and operation of microgrids. Islanded microgrid operation is more crucial than the conventional distribution grids because of less dependency of the...

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...
