Abstract

In this work, a multi-objective quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm is proposed to address the optimal scheduling of non-dispatchable sources in a microgrid energy management system (MGEMS) for residential areas under utility-induced demand-side management (DSM) programs. While taking economic and environmental aspects into account, the goal is to maximize energy management by integrating a variety of distributed generation (DG) units with an energy storage device. Using real-time meteorological data, two case studies were analyzed and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink R2025b. The simulation results reveal that the optimum optimization outcome among the case studies is obtained at a higher DSM load participation level of 10%. Without the involvement of DSM, MG’s producing units in the first case had the highest carbon emissions of 797.110 kg and an overall operating cost of 267.10 €. Similarly, with the involvement of DSM, the second case had the lowest overall operating cost of 155.01 € and the lowest carbon emissions of 748.731 kg. The second case, which has optimal DG scheduling, is the suggested way to improve microgrid efficiency and provide a dependable power supply with low operating costs and emission reduction.
