The purpose of 24-hour scheduling is to determine the generation of micro-turbines, the contribution of responsive loads, the status of charging and discharging energy storage resources, the exchange rate with the upstream network, the prediction of renewable resources generation, optimum cost for the system operator and the amount of pollutant emissions will be minimized. Planning in the second layer runs for 15 minutes ahead. At this stage, the goal is to reduce the forecast error and minimize the cost of first layer operation. The proposed Method is implemented and tested using MATLAB programming. The proper performance of this method is reduce operation costs and maximize responsive loads profit CP - IRAN IN - Sadjad University of Technology, Mashhad, Iran LG - eng PB - jiaeee PG - 25 PT - Research YR - 2018
