Highlights
A nature-inspired driven approach is proposed to optimally design off-grid microgrid.
Development of a rule-based energy management scheme based on queuing theory.
The optimization problem minimizes energy cost and maximizes system reliability.
The proposed grasshopper optimization algorithm is compared with PSO and CSA.
The performance of the microgrid has been analysed against future uncertainties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
