This study addresses the problem of generation co‐ordination of distributed energy resources and battery energy storage system (BESS) in a grid connected micro‐grid to minimise the total operating cost of the micro‐grid. A combination of dispatchable and non‐dispatchable generators and BESS in a micro‐grid is taken into consideration. A new individual coding is proposed. Also a modification is suggested in basic elephant herding optimisation (EHO). The proposed modified EHO (MEHO) and EHO are applied to solve the optimisation problem and results of MEHO are found to be better than existing swarm‐based techniques.
