%X The design of energy management systems (EMS) and dynamic control systems of multi-energy
microgrids (MEMGs) combining diverse energy vectors (electricity, heating/cooling, and hydrogen)
has not been extensively explored. This paper presents a novel hybrid EMS combining fuzzy logic
and model predictive control to optimize energy dispatch and reduce grid dependency in a gridconnected MEMG. It comprises for a photovoltaic power plant, a battery, an electrical residential
demand, a fuel cell, an electrolyzer, a hydrogen tank, a gas boiler, an electric boiler, an absorption
chiller and thermal residential demand. The synergy among energy vectors is achieved by adjusting
the thermal component operation based on renewable production and storage levels. The findings
show a notable decrease in gas (by 2.82%), electric boiler (by 18.75%), and absorption chiller (8.91%)
usage compared to a conventional states-based EMS. The efficient energy dispatch leads to a 9.56%
reduction in operational costs, and a 2.82% decrease in the CO2 emissions. Additionally, there is an
increment in the levels of state of charge of the electrical battery (by 21.43%), hydrogen level (by
4.8%), and state of energy (by 18.85%). The results probe the adaptability and resilience of the
suggested EMS in effectively managing multiple energy vectors.
