Which optimization techniques are used to optimize a microgrid?

The study conducts a thorough comparative analysis involving four optimization techniques: Dandelion Algorithm (DA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Nature-Inspired Optimization Algorithm (NOA), and Knowledge Optimization Algorithm (KOA). The evaluation metrics encompass life cycle emissions, the optimal microgrid cost, and customer billing.

Is it possible to optimize microgrids at the same time?

At present, the research on microgrid optimization mainly simplifies multiple objectives such as operation cost reduction, energy management and environmental protection into a single objective for optimization, but there are often conflicts between multiple objectives, thus making it difficult to achieve the optimization at the same time.
