Abstract: To improve the economic benefits of islanded microgrid with wind turbine, photovoltaic, diesel, and energy storage, an economic optimal operation strategy based on the dynamic alternate operation of two master power supplies, namely, the energy storage battery and the diesel generator, was proposed. First, based on the basic data such as renewable energy output forecast and load demand forecast, a reasonable operating mode is selected. A goal of minimizing the comprehensive operation cost of the system is established, incorporating factors such as fuel consumption cost, system operation and maintenance cost, and so on. Second, an economic operation optimization model for islanded microgrid is constructed, considering power balance constraints, and the distributed generation unit operation constraints. A model solution scheme based on the bald eagle search (BES) algorithm is proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the optimal operation strategy proposed in this paper is verified by a case study, which can improve the economic benefits of the microgrid systems to a certain extent.
