Micro-grids have spread in many distribution systems worldwide. Microgrids are operated by a customer ora group of customers for having a reliable, clean and economic mode of power supply to meet their demand.Furthermore, micro-grids can help in integrating and promoting for Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and reducing theenvironmental impacts of traditional centralized generation. This paper presents an economic and emission dispatchproblem solution using Ant Colony optimization of micro-grids. An isolated micro-grid with solar is considered in thispaper. A combined cost optimization scheme is investigated to minimize both operational cost and emission levels whilesatisfying the micro-grid’s load demand. The effects on total generation cost, with the inclusion of solar energy into amicro-grid is studied and found the most profitable solution by considering different practical scenarios. The Ant Colonywas implemented using MatLab and tested on two case studies with and without RES-Solar energy (PV). The obtainedresults from the Ant Colony technique are compared with those calculated using other Techniques; Gradient method. Theoutcomes are evaluated and discussed
