This study proposes a simplified mathematical formulation for optimizing isolated microgrids, enhancing computational efficiency while preserving solution quality. The research focuses on the influence of Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs Non-Dispatchable Generators (NDGs) relationship between pollutant emissions. proposed simplification reduces requirements, improves result interpretability, increases scalability optimization techniques. O&M photovoltaic wind systems were excluded from initial calculated afterward. A Student’s t-test yielded p-value 87.3%, confirming no significant difference tested scenarios, ensuring that does not impact quality reducing complexity. For emission-related costs, scenarios with single multiple generators analyzed. When only one generator type is present, modifications are needed to enable effective multi-objective optimization. To address this, two alternative formulations tested, offering more suitable approaches problem. However, when sources exist, cost emission differences naturally define problem as without requiring adjustments. Future work will explore grid-connected microgrids additional objectives, such loss minimization, voltage control, device lifespan extension.
