Energy Management Strategy and Capacity Planning of an Autonomous Microgrid: A Comparative Study of Metaheuristic Optimization Searching Techniques

Electricity generation using renewable energy-based microgrid (REM) is a prerequisite to achieve one of the cardinal objectives of sustainable development goals. Nonetheless, the optimum design and sizing of the REM is challenging. This is because the REM needs to supply the fluctuating demand considering the sporadic behaviour of the renewable energy sources (RES). This paper, therefore, proposes...
