description This paper presents an energy-management strategy based on a recently introduced Political Optimizer (PO) for a microgrid installation at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology. The aim of the study is to check the effectiveness of two recently introduced meta-heuristic algorithms at power-system-operations planning. The optimization algorithms were compared with other conventional meta-heuristics wherein performance tests were carried out by minimizing costs in an IEEE 30-bus system. The best performing algorithm was then used to minimize the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) in a microgrid consisting of renewable energy sources such as solar PV panels, a micro-hydro power plant, a fuel cell with a hydrogen storage tank and a Li-ion storage unit.
