                Abstract: 
                In order to improve the reliability, stability and economy of power supply of a microgrid, some fundamental work on microgrid energy management method is carried out. Firstly, models of microgrid components under steady state are established in MATLAB/SIMULINK. Secondly, an operation cost function of microgrid is proposed, together with the constraint conditions. Then, in order to solve the energy management problem, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is declared by using m-files programming. The algorithm will be explained in chart flow and pseudo code. Finally, a simulation scenario is designed to show the good performance of this control method.
