Abstract: Microgrids are handy units for a utility since their units such as distributed energy resources (DER) and loads can able to control the power ingestion or production. Moreover, it is used to assimilate renewable energy resources (RES) to small distribution systems. Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are employed to recompense the sporadic output of RES. Similarly, DC microgrid for a home can be excellently controlled by an energy management system (EMS) using fuzzy logic controller (FLC) of 25-rules alone to control the power flow. The system has photovoltaic (PV), Fuel Cell (FC) and battery energy storage (BES). This study aims to introduce firefly algorithm (FA) to optimize FLC in order to increase the system energy saving efficiency and to reduce the cost.
