Economic load dispatch (ELD) is an important topic in the operation of power plants which can help to build up effective generating management plans. The practical ELD problem has non-smooth cost function with nonlinear constraints which make it difficult to be effectively solved. This paper presents, a new and efficient krill herd algorithm (KHA) to solve both convex and non-convex ELD problems of thermal power units considering valve point loading, multiple fuel operation, transmission losses and constraints such as ramp rate limits and prohibited operating zones. To enhance the overall performance and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, the crossover and mutation operation of differential evolution (DE) are integrated with the proposed method. The different versions of KHA are successfully applied to small, medium, and large-scale power systems for solving six different ELD problems. The simulation results obtained by the proposed algorithms are compared with the results obtained using other recently develop methods available in the literature. From numerical results, it is found that the proposed KHA with crossover and mutation operators approach is able to provide better solution than other reported techniques in terms of fuel cost. Furthermore, this algorithm is better in terms of robustness than most of the existing algorithms used in this study. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Koustav Dasgupta, Provas Kumar Roy, Vivekananda Mukherjee

Summary: In this study, a new model called complicated constrained hybrid energy integrated DEED problem was formulated by integrating hybrid sources of energy with the traditional dynamic economic emission dispatch (DEED) problem. The use of solar and wind energy in this model has been found to generate less polluted power compared to the traditional DEED problem. The convergence and diversity of the novel sine cosine algorithm (SCA) were enhanced using the quasi-opposition learning (QOL) approach and chaotic dynamics. The presented solution for the dynamic thermal-wind-solar EED problem was effectively validated by solving the cost, emission, and combined cost-emission aspects using QOL-based chaotic SCA. The proposed modified SCA demonstrated its robustness through comparison with results obtained from SCA and other recently published algorithms.

A Novel Ameliorated Moth Swarm Algorithm for Optimization of Hybrid Power System Incorporating FACTS Controllers

Dhiman Banerjee, Provas Kumar Roy, Goutam Kumar Panda

Summary: In power system engineering, the integration of conventional thermal units (CTUs) and alternative energy sources (AESs) has become a recent trend for cost-effective and environmentally friendly operation. This study focuses on developing an optimal power flow (OPF) problem that integrates CTUs with three intermittent energy sources (wind energy, photovoltaic energy, and electric vehicle as a vehicle to grid source). The study proposes a probabilistic strategy to deal with the uncertainties of these energy sources and optimally places a single static series compensator (SSSC) and a single unified power flow controller (UPFC) to ensure stable operational conditions and address instability and generation uncertainty. The proposed ameliorated moth swarm algorithm (AMSA) is proposed as a solution for the complex OPF model. The performance of the proposed technique is verified using standard benchmark functions and tested on various power networks, with the results showing its superiority over other methods in terms of quality and accuracy.

Summary: In power system scheduling with variable renewable energy sources, considering both spatial and temporal correlations is a challenging task due to the complex intertwining of spatiotemporal characteristics and computational complexity caused by high dimensionality.

The method incorporates Latin hypercube sampling, copula-importance sampling theory, and probability-based scenario reduction technique to efficiently capture the spatial and temporal correlation in the dynamic optimal power flow problem. Numerical simulations demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach in terms of computational efficiency and accuracy compared to existing methods.
