description In recent years, the global power industry has experienced rapid development, with significant advancements in the source, network, load sectors, and energy storage technologies. The secure, reliable, and economical operation of power systems is a critical challenge. Due to the stochastic nature of intermittent renewable energy generation and the coupled time-series characteristics of energy storage systems, it is essential to simulate uncertain variables accurately and develop optimization algorithms that can effectively tackle multi-objective problems in economic dispatch models for microgrids. This paper proposes a pelican algorithm enhanced by multi-strategy improvements for optimal generation scheduling. We establish eight scenarios with and without pumped storage across four typical seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—and conduct simulation analyses on a real-world case. The objective is to minimize the total system cost. The improved pelican optimization algorithm (IPOA) is compared with other leading algorithms, demonstrating the validity of our model and the superiority of IPOA in reducing costs and managing complex constraints in optimization.
