Abstract: In this paper, we perform economic load dispatch for microgrid. The Microgrid consists of three conventional generators and a solar power source and a wind power source and three rural consumers. Along with the economic load dispatch we have performed demand response for the given microgrid. we have used incentive based demand response for the microgrid. The objective function is to minimize the conventional diesel generators fuel cost, minimize the transaction cost of transferable power between microgrid and power grid and to increase the benefit of utility. The Optimization strategy used in this paper is particle swarm optimization (PSO) in which the problem moves to best by eliminating all the worst solutions. Results show that consumers curtail certain amount of power and relieving that power from the microgrid will bring optimality at both supply and demand side and optimal power for the three conventional generators and transferable power so that the optimal cost is obtained.
