It continues line of research focused on minimizing running cost and adjusting microgrid electrical production to its demand, thereby implying environmental and economic benefits.The new algorithm uses a heuristic approach, based on cost functions of microsources, to improve the results obtained by SQP (the state-of-the-art of mathematical methods for minimizing non-linear functions subject to constraints). Moreover, different tests included in this work show that the new algorithm can be used not only for on-line adjustments of active-power generation to demand, but also to simultaneously to cover heat demand (in cases of combined heat and power, CHP). Both objectives can be achieved while consuming fewer computational resources than with the SQP method applied exclusively to adjust active-power generation to demand (no CHP). In addition, low computational requirements make it possible to run the algorithm on-line using an off-the-shelf programmable logic controller or microcontroller, which further contributes to the penetration of microgrids.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></work-type><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></accession-num><call-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></call-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></notes><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></custom1><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></custom4><custom5><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></custom5><custom6><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></custom6><custom7><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></custom7><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></research-notes><num-vols><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></num-vols><orig-pub><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></orig-pub><reprint-edition><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></reprint-edition><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></auth-address><remote-database-name><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></remote-database-name><remote-database-provider><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></remote-database-provider><label><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></label><access-date><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%"></style></access-date></record></records></xml>
