The intermittent nature of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power can lead to fluctuations in the supply of electricity within a microgrid, making it difficult to maintain a consistent and reliable power supply. This can result in disruptions to critical operations and services that rely on a stable source of energy. Additionally, the integration of electric vehicles into a microgrid introduces another layer of complexity, as the charging and discharging of these vehicles can create additional demand and strain on the grid. This can lead to imbalances in the supply and demand of electricity, further impacting the stability and efficiency of the microgrid. This paper presents an approach for the optimal behaviour of electric vehicles and demand side for an electrical microgrid. The proposed approaches are multi-domain attention-dependent conditional generative adversarial network (MDACGAN) and seahorse optimization (SHO) techniques. The primary goal of the suggested method is to reduce the operational cost of the system, maximize the utilization of solar power and reduce electricity fluctuations. The economic dispatch model manages the fluctuation of renewable energy sources through the implementation of suggested techniques to handle unpredictability. The effectiveness of this approach is evaluated using the MATLAB platform and compared against other methods. The suggested technique demonstrates superior outcomes across all methodologies. Based on the findings, it can be inferred that the suggested technique boasts a lower cost in comparison to other methods.

1 Introduction
1.1 Aims and motivations
The increasing global need for electricity has brought environmental and social concerns to the forefront [1]. Traditional power plants burning fossil fuels have caused extensive environmental damage, and the outdated power grid faces challenges of high expenses and poor efficiency [2–4]. Consequently, electric vehicles, which support clean energy generation with renewable electricity, have gained widespread acceptance worldwide [5, 6]. A microgrid is a network that produces and delivers electricity through different sources [7, 8]. It plays a crucial role in power systems because of its strong security measures, high use of renewable energy, and cost-effectiveness [9–11]. Nevertheless, the unpredictable nature of green energies poses challenges to maintaining balance in the microgrid, as well as in efficiently managing the system [12, 13]. Furthermore, the integration of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower into the grid is essential in reducing use of fossil fuels [14, 15]. These sources of energy are abundant, clean, and sustainable, making them a viable alternative to traditional forms of electricity generation [16–18]. By investing in renewable energy infrastructure and improving energy storage capabilities, countries can ensure more reliable and resilient energy systems for the future [19, 20]. In addition to technological advancements, changes in consumer behaviour and energy efficiency measures are also key in reducing electricity demand and promoting sustainability [20]. Energy conservation practices, such as using energy-efficient appliances, implementing smart home technology, and adopting energy-saving habits, can help lower overall electricity consumption and reduce the need for additional fossil fuel-based power generation [21, 22]. Overall, the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy system requires a multi-faceted approach that includes advancements in technology, policy changes, and individual actions [22, 23]. By working together to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and embrace renewable energy sources, energy organizations can create a more sustainable future for generations to come. Therefore, integrating electric vehicles in the microgrid operation can serve as a vital decentralized optimal power supply [23–25].
1.2 Related studies
Past studies on microgrid dispatching have primarily concentrated on various objective functions aimed at optimizing the results of dispatching. Multi-objective functions such as the environmental cost and the generation cost of the microgrid are commonly explored. Factors like the total life cycle expenses, wind desertion rate of a grid-connected microgrid, operating costs, and reliability are also taken into consideration [26]. The support from the distribution network has significantly boosted the operational dependability of the microgrid [27]. Nevertheless, the distribution network of a microgrid is mainly fuelled by fossil fuels, leading to severe environmental pollution. As a result, microgrids consist of both fuel-powered and renewable energy devices [28]. By integrating renewable energy sources, the microgrid’s environmental efficiency is improved by reducing fuel consumption [29]. While these sustainable energy devices are expensive, they serve the primary objectives of the microgrid, which are economic and environmental protection [30]. The system’s environmental protection is boosted by the optimal unit output, leading to increased utilization of renewable energy sources [31]. Economic incentives can be used to regulate the random variables of loads in microgrids, significantly impacting their stability [32]. To fully exploit the advantages of load on MGs, it is essential to create demand response mechanisms [33]. The primary obstacle for these resources is the unpredictability of their power output due to the random nature of natural parameters [34]. Ignoring the ambiguity surrounding microgrid energy management can lead to inaccurate predictions of resource output values. As a result, researchers have proposed various techniques, including deterministic and non-deterministic methods [35]. Managing power systems is becoming more challenging due to the integration of electric vehicles into the grid. Improving grid management efficiency is essential, especially with the abundance of renewable energy sources [36]. Previous methods tend to focus on local areas and lack a robust global search engine, which are two major limitations [37]. The inconsistent availability of renewable energy and the uncertainty surrounding its usage is having a detrimental effect on the reliable operation of a microgrid. Additionally, integrating electric vehicles as variable power consumers can greatly disrupt the effective functioning of the microgrid. Currently, economic and environmental considerations are the primary focus of microgrid optimization dispatches [38].
1.3 Contributions of this paper
The study aims to improve the microgrid’s advantages by focusing on the microgrid’s operational expenses and environmental sustainability. Therefore, our contributions in this paper can be summarized as follows:
-
This paper presents a novel hybrid approach for managing the charging and discharging patterns of electric vehicles, as well as implementing load management in a microgrid system.
-
The approach combines such as multi-domain attention-dependent conditional generative adversarial network (MDACGAN) and seahorse optimization algorithm (SHO) techniques are proposed.

The method proposed is designed to reduce the microgrid’s expenses, optimize the use of solar power, and decrease energy fluctuations between the microgrid and the main grid.
2 Overview of proposed microgrid
Figure 1 displays a grid-connected micro-grid to evaluate the suggested strategy. Photovoltaic (PV) panels generate electricity from sunlight, which is then stored in the energy storage system for later use. The electric vehicle is also connected to the micro-grid, allowing it to be charged using the renewable energy generated by the PV panels. The load represents the energy demand from various devices within the microgrid. The communication link enables the energy management system to gather real-time data on the energy production from the PV panels, the energy consumption of the electric vehicle, and the overall energy demand from the load. This data is then analyzed to determine the most efficient energy set points for the main grid, resources, and demand within the microgrid. By optimizing the energy set points, the micro-grid can minimize its reliance on the main grid, maximize the use of renewable energy sources, and ensure that the energy demand from the load and electric vehicle is met without any interruptions. This strategy allows for the efficient and sustainable operation of the microgrid, reducing its environmental impact and overall energy costs.

4 Optimization method
The approach suggested for enhancing energy efficiency in the microgrid integrates the SHO and MDACGAN methods. By leveraging the SHO and MDACGAN techniques, the optimal dispatch model is improved while considering the microgrid’s operation. This integration leads to decreased operational costs and enhanced energy utilization. Results from simulations confirm the efficacy of the proposed approach, demonstrating a notable reduction in errors when compared to conventional control methods. The SHO-MDACGAN algorithm introduced in this research delivers superior results compared to prior studies.
4.1 SHO optimization method
This segment delves into the utilization of SHO for optimization. Drawing from the hunting, swimming, and reproduction habits of seahorses in the ocean, the SHO technique was created. It integrates the concepts of exploration and exploitation, reflecting the social interactions of seahorses as they search for food and navigate their environment. The algorithm’s structure is inspired by the stages of seahorse reproduction, with the final phase commencing after the initial two components are completed. A comprehensive explanation of the SHO approach is outlined below [43]:
First Step: Initializing
Set up the input data.
Second Step: Random Generation
Following initialization, the fitness function was subjected to randomization using the SHO method, as outlined in equation (21).(21)
Where:
Zs = Population matrix.
n = Population size.
H = Variables.
Third Step: Fitness Function
The objective function impacts the level of fitness. The fitness function is defined as:(22)
Fourth Step: Behaviour of Movement
Seahorses’ movement pattern is used as a model for the standard distribution. Two instances are given to help find a middle ground between exploring and exploiting, with a boundary point at 0. The mathematical expression for exploration (σ) is as follows:(23)
Where:
λ = Random number.
Exploitation in seahorses involves mimicking the Brownian motion of another seahorse to enhance their movement through ocean waves.(24)
Where:
βj = Coefficient of random walk.
Fifth Step: Foraging Behaviour
Seahorses searching for food can either succeed or fail. Success happens when the seahorse moves faster than the prey (r2 > 0.1), while failure occurs when the opposite is true. The standards for measuring success and failure in seahorses’ quest for food are as stated here:(25)
Where:
S = Number of iterations.
Sixth Step: Breeding Behaviour
Seahorses are split into two gender categories, female and male each group making up 50% of the population during the breeding season.(26)
Where:
Zsort= Fitness value.
In the SHO algorithm, each pair produces one child.(27)
Where:
r3 = Random number of male and female members by ZFather and ZMother.
Seventh Step: Termination
Verify the termination conditions; if they are satisfied, it indicates that an optimal solution has been achieved. If not, proceed with repeating the process. Figure 2 depicts the flowchart of SHO.

4.2 MDACGAN optimization method
The MDACGAN model employs a CGAN framework, comprising discriminators and generators. The generator network creates varied and lifelike power dispatch solutions, while the discriminator network aims to differentiate between generated and real solutions. GAN provides a unique method in which the correlation between the projected vector P and power dispatch can be harnessed by microgrid Wgan(M, Q) according to equation (28) [44]:(28)
Where:
c = Power dispatch prediction.
Zdata = Data distribution.
Q(c) = Discriminator output.
ZP = Z-distribution.
M(P) = Generator output.
In this research, Conditional GAN is employed to map multiple predicted domains P to a single domain J, leading to precise power dispatch prediction denoted in equation (29).(29)
Where:
P = Electricity demand.
J = Predicted data.
The loss function for MACGAN is made up of three separate loss functions, as shown in equation (30).(30)
The generator M and the discriminator Q participate in a min-max game where M tries to minimize the above function while Q seeks to maximize it, leading to opposition. The L loss, as depicted, reduces the gap between the actual and predicted power, as shown in equation (31).(31)
The symbols X, L, and N are used to represent the channel, time, and level of traffic in this case. The third factor is attention loss, which minimizes the difference between the binary function, and is accurately predicted by the optimal allocation of power generation resources for improved prediction as shown in equation (32).(32)
Where:
Y = Map produced by attention module.
E = Unwanted data.
