Abstract

Introduction: Microgrids, conceived as autonomous power distribution systems, require an advanced controller capable of autonomously determining optimal generation sources to achieve energy self-sufficiency. Methodology: This study delves into the comprehensive optimization of a microgrid through the application of genetic algorithms, simultaneously considering economic and environmental variables within a framework of sustainable management. Two reproduction methods—mutation and crossover—were analyzed for their impact on system performance. Mutation introduces random variations that emulate the introduction of innovations, while crossover combines genetic material from successful configurations to generate potentially superior solutions. Results: Two survival methods—random selection and elitism—were evaluated, revealing that random selection enhances diversity and unpredictability, whereas elitism preserves the most efficient solutions. The results show that random mutations increase the amount of excess energy produced, while combining mutation with elitism improves system efficiency. Likewise, crossover combined with elitism yields the best performance by reproducing only with the most elite chromosome of each generation. These findings provide evidence of the applicability of genetic algorithms in strategic cost management and sustainable optimization of smart microgrids. ES Introducción: Las microrredes, concebidas como sistemas autónomos de distribución de energía, requieren un controlador avanzado capaz de decidir de forma autónoma las fuentes óptimas de generación para alcanzar la autosuficiencia energética. Metodología: Esta investigación profundiza en la optimización integral de una microrred mediante la aplicación de algoritmos genéticos, considerando simultáneamente variables económicas y ambientales dentro de un enfoque de gestión sostenible. Se analizan dos métodos de reproducción —mutación y cruce— y su influencia en el desempeño del sistema. La mutación introduce cambios aleatorios que simulan la incorporación de innovaciones, mientras que el cruce combina material genético de configuraciones exitosas para generar soluciones potencialmente superiores. Resultados: Se evaluaron dos métodos de supervivencia —selección aleatoria y elitismo—, observándose que la selección aleatoria aporta diversidad e imprevisibilidad, mientras que el elitismo preserva las soluciones más eficientes. Los resultados demuestran que las mutaciones aleatorias incrementan la energía excedente producida, mientras que la combinación de mutación y elitismo mejora la eficiencia del sistema. Asimismo, el cruce combinado con elitismo arroja el mejor rendimiento al reproducirse solo con el cromosoma más destacado de cada generación. Estos hallazgos aportan evidencia sobre la aplicabilidad de los algoritmos genéticos en la gestión estratégica de costos y en la optimización sostenible de microrredes inteligentes.
