As hybrid microgrids become increasingly widespread in real-world applications, the need for intelligent energy management strategies that ensure reliability, economic efficiency, and robustness to uncertainties is growing. This study presents a real-time capable model predictive control (MPC)-based energy management for a medium-sized hybrid microgrid at the Karabuk University Demir Çelik campus. The system comprises 100 kW photovoltaic (PV) panels, a 500 Ah battery energy storage system (BESS), a 440 kW diesel generator, and a 75 MVA utility connection. The proposed MPC approach is evaluated under ten realistic operating scenarios, incorporating dynamic pricing and fault conditions. Simulation results show up to 43% reduction in operational costs and 35% decrease in grid dependency, while keeping unserved critical loads below 3%. Compared to conventional rule-based methods, the proposed strategy offers improved scalability, adaptability, and resilience, highlighting its practical potential for deployment in smart energy systems.
