Optimal use of microgrids for efficient and economic management of energy resources is of special importance. At the residential level, energy costs can be reduced by using the concepts of price-based intelligent control (response to demand). In this paper, an energy management problem that proposed to decrease the cost of operating a residential microgrid with Micro-CHP equipped by a smart meter. The problem objective function formulation in the form of short-term production planning is based on the total cost of Micro-CHP gas consumption and auxiliary burner and the cost of electricity purchased from the network or sell to it in 24 hours. The aim is to present the ideal energy management strategy of the resources available based on smart control, and due to the non-linear problem, GAMS software by Mixed Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) was used to solve the problem. Finally, the proposed method is implemented on the sample microgrid and the results are compared with Heat-Led Control, the effect of battery on microgrid participation in load response programs was demonstrated. Also, the effect of different tariffs of the market price on the cost of microgrid operation and how to exchange with the grid in different cases are evaluated that results showed the proper performance of the proposed method.
