description Abstract Multi-Energy Microgrids (ME-MGs) represent an integrated and advanced energy system, playing a vital role in delivering optimal and sustainable energy solutions in modern societies. These systems combine various energy sources, such as electricity, heat, and storage systems, to ensure efficient resource management and operation. One of the primary challenges in managing ME-MGs is reducing operational costs and emissions while addressing uncertainties. This study investigates the optimization and energy management (EM) in ME-MGs through the application of the Multi-Objective Walrus Optimization Algorithm (MOWaOA) combined with fuzzy decision-making techniques. The main objective of the research is to minimize operational costs and emissions in the face of uncertain conditions. To achieve this goal, multiple scenarios were analyzed, including EM without considering demand response and electric vehicles, EM with the inclusion of these factors, and EM under uncertain conditions. The results demonstrated that integrating electric vehicles and demand response into microgrid EM led to a 15.6% reduction in operational costs and a 12.8% decrease in emissions compared to scenarios where these factors were excluded. Furthermore, when uncertainties were accounted for, operational costs increased by 2.1% and emissions rose by 1.2%. This increase emphasizes the significance of employing more precise management techniques and advanced strategies to effectively address uncertainties in ME-MGs.
