“…A unit commitment optimization method is proposed in [71] for integrating solar photovoltaic plants in MGs. In [72], an economic dispatch is addressed for MGs with a mathematical programming approach. The results show that by including storage and DRPs, it is possible to save between 18% and 75% of the costs.…”

The primary goal of a microgrid (MG) operator is to provide electricity to consumers while minimizing costs. For this aim, the operator must engage in the cost-effective management of its resource outputs, which can encompass electrical, thermal, or combined cooling, heat and power (CCHP) systems. Conversely, there has been a growing emphasis on enhancing the resilience of MGs in response to low-probability high-impact (LPHI) incidents in recent years. Therefore, MG-associated energy management strategies have to factor in resilience considerations. While resilience improvement activities increase the operational cost, they lead to a reduction in lost load, and subsequently, a decrease in the MG outage costs, making these activities economically viable. This paper focuses on MGs’ energy management with the primary goals of enhancing resilience, minimizing operational costs, and mitigating active power losses as well as environmental pollution. To attain this goal, various means like renewable resources (specifically photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine (WT) systems), CCHP, and energy storage devices are integrated. Additionally, for reaching the solution, a genetic algorithm (GA) is implemented. MG operation considers the resilience concept, and according to the obtained results, it is observed that the cost of operation and environmental pollution, respectively, experience an increase about 6.31% and 2.8%. However, due to the reduction in outage costs by an average of 13.91% and power losses by 0.5%, the overall cost is diminished about 5.93%. This cost reduction is achieved through increased CCHP generation and a decreased outage duration during emergencies.
