Abstract: A multi-objective energy management and scheduling strategy for a microgrid comprising wind turbines, solar cells, fuel cells, microturbines, batteries, and loads is proposed in this work. The plan uses a fuzzy decision-making technique to reduce pollution emissions, battery storage aging costs, and operating expenses. To be more precise, we applied an improved honey badger algorithm (IHBA) to find the best choice variables, such as the size of energy resources and storage, by combining fuzzy decision-making with the Pareto solution set and a chaotic sequence. We used the IHBA to perform single- and multi-objective optimization simulations for the microgrid’s energy management, and we compared the results with those of the conventional HBA and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The results showed that the multi-objective method improved both goals by resulting in a compromise between them. On the other hand, the single-objective strategy makes one goal stronger and the other weaker. Apart from that, the IHBA performed better than the conventional HBA and PSO, which also lowers the cost. The suggested approach beat the alternative tactics in terms of savings and effectively reached the ideal solution based on the Pareto set by utilizing fuzzy decision-making and the IHBA. Furthermore, compared with the scenario without this cost, the results indicated that integrating battery aging costs resulted in an increase of 7.44% in operational expenses and 3.57% in pollution emissions costs.
