Abstract: This paper presents an improved optimization algorithm for the energy management of a renewable energy solar/wind microgrid with multiple diesel generators applied to off-grid remote communities. The main objective aims to solve the economic emission dispatch problem with a price penalty factor to minimize the energy cost and the emission level. An enhanced metaheuristic optimization algorithm, Lévy arithmetic algorithm, is applied to improve the searchability for optimal solution compared to the conventional arithmetic algorithm. The Lévy arithmetic method is used for the management of the microgrid and compared to other metaheuristic optimization algorithms for the same application. Comparative analysis demonstrates good cost savings using the Lévy arithmetic algorithm, compared to other optimization algorithms such as the arithmetic algorithm, crow search algorithm, hybrid modified grey wolf algorithm, interior search algorithm, cuckoo search algorithm, particle swarm algorithm, colony algorithm, and genetic algorithm.
