Commercial and industrial microgrids (CIM) are created to meet the needs of businesses and corporations. The creation of the CIM, where power is generated only from renewable energy sources (RES), has a positive effect on the environment. The CIM is a local energy cell connected to the power system by a power transmission line, and includes its power plants, network, and consumers. Special rules are developed to regulate the relationship between the CIM and the power system for the violation of which a fine is imposed. Compliance with these rules by the CIM requires the creation of a CIM management strategy aimed at avoiding a fine. Within the framework of this strategy, active consumers and energy storage systems play an important role in reducing fines and maintaining the power balance in the CIM. The study aims to explore the possibility of optimal functioning of an environmentally friendly CIM without violating obligations to the power system.
