Abstract
Recently, Microgrids (MGs) have received great attention for solving power system problems, due to their low environmental effects and their economic benefits. This paper proposes a new application of an effective metaheuristic optimization method, namely, Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA), to solve energy management for optimal dispatch of the grid connected MG incorporating Demand Response programs (DRP). Honey badger algorithm is used to solve an incentive DRP, with the aim of minimizing the total cost, which includes conventional generators fuel cost and the cost of power transaction with the main grid considering the load demand. In this paper, two case studies are conducted using HBA and simulation results are compared with those obtained by other algorithms (particle swarm optimization and JAYA algorithm). First case consists of three diesel generators, a PV generator and a wind generator. To prove the scalability of the HBA, the second case, which is much larger, is tested. Simulation results for both case studies obtained by PSO, JAYA, and HBA are deeply discussed. The results show the HBA's effectiveness in solving the energy management with DR problem for MG compared with other well-known optimization techniques.
