Abstract Economic emission dispatch (EED) of a three-unit stand-alone microgrid system supported by a wind farm is percolated in this paper. The adverse effects of stochastic and uncertainty nature of wind energy in raising the generation cost of the microgrid system are studied in this article. Unit commitment (UC) of the generating units is taken into account which helps in reducing the generation cost and provides relaxation time to the generation units. Three cases are contemplated for the study. For the first two cases, the generation cost of the test system was minimized without and with the involvement of wind power, respectively. The third case considered the involvement of wind power along with the UC of the conventional generation units. A novel hybrid of recently developed superior optimization algorithms, viz. grey wolf optimizer (GWO), sine–cosine algorithm (SCA) and crow search algorithm (CSA), is implemented to perform EED, and the results are compared with basic GWO and other hybrid algorithms. Results are then analysed to compare and contrast among these cases and justify the reliable and profitable one. Statistical analysis claims the superiority of the proposed hybrid MGWOSCACSA over other hybrids and GWO.

The hybrid renewable energy system is a promising and significant technology for clean and sustainable island power supply. Among the abundant ocean energy sources, tidal current energy appears to be very valuable due to its excellent predictability and stability, particularly compared with the intermittent wind and solar energy. In this paper, an island hybrid energy microgrid composed of photovoltaic, wind, tidal current, battery and diesel is constructed according to the actual energy sources. A sizing optimization method based on improved multi-objective grey wolf optimizer (IMOGWO) is presented to optimize the hybrid energy system. The proposed method is applied to determine the optimal system size, which is a multi-objective problem including the minimization of annualized cost of system (CACS) and deficiency of power supply probability (DPSP). MATLAB software is utilized to program and simulate the hybrid energy system. Optimization results confirm that IMOGWO is feasible to optimally size the system, and the energy management strategy effectively matches the requirements of system operation. Furthermore, comparison of hybrid systems with and without tidal current turbines is undertaken to confirm that the utilization of tidal current turbines can contribute to enhancing system reliability and reducing system investment, especially in areas with abundant tidal energy sources.
