description Abstract The present study examines AI techniques to reduce the cost and CO2 emissions for designing and controlling microgrid at minimum cost and providing a power supply to a residential complex of 100 units. Three AI techniques, Genetic Algorithm (GA), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), are employed to optimize the optimal composition of energy sources based on solar energy and wind energy, battery storage, and load profiles. GA, from natural selection, is constantly seeking the best configuration. ABC models honeybee foraging behavior to achieve efficient exploration, and ACO models ant colony decision-making to achieve optimal energy configuration. These AI models maximize the use of renewable energy, reduce wastage, and improve microgrid resilience and responsiveness to supply and demand fluctuations. Experiments demonstrate the revolutionary potential of AI to control microgrids. The optimization achieves the lowest electricity cost of 0.037 USD/kWh, a reduction by 67% from Fez’s reference cost (0.115 USD/kWh) and guarantees a supply of power. These results illustrate the ability of AI to power cheap and clean energy systems.
