  This study addresses the challenges of energy deficiencies and high impact
low probability (HILP) events in modern electrical grids by developing
resilient microgrid energy management strategies. It introduces a sliding Model
Predictive Control (MPC) methodology integrated with Battery Energy Storage
Systems (BESS), emphasizing extending battery life and prioritizing critical
loads during HILP events. This approach focuses on extending the sustainability
of battery operation by linearizing the battery lifecycle within the
optimization framework. Furthermore, this research proposed a straightforward
method to mitigate communication disruptions during HILP events, thereby
ensuring operational integrity. This focused approach enhances isolated
microgrid resilience and sustainability, offering a strategic response to
contemporary environmental challenges.
