Particle Swarm Optimization for Power Dispatch with Pumped Hydro

Particle swarm optimization with crazy particles for nonconvex economic dispatch

The paper presents an effective evolutionarymethod for economic power dispatch. The idea is to allocate power demand to the on-line power generators in such amanner that the cost of operation isminimized. Conventional methods assume quadratic or piecewise quadratic cost curves of power generators but modern generating units have non-linearities which make this assumption inaccurate. Evolutionar...

Optimization of Hydro-Power Plants for Generation

A decision support system is presented that addresses optimal unit dispatch and load allocation in a multi-unit hydroelectric plant. The concept behind the optimization approach is explained. Estimates of the improvements this system can provide over existing plant operational methodologies are provided. Actual use of this system has provided gains of over 2% in plant performance.

Particle Swarm Optimization with Smart Inertia Factor for Combined Heat and Power Economic Dispatch

In this paper particle swarm optimization with smart inertia factor (PSO-SIF) algorithm is proposed to solve combined heat and power economic dispatch (CHPED) problem. The CHPED problem is one of the most important problems in power systems and is a challenging non-convex and non-linear optimization problem. The aim of solving CHPED problem is to determine optimal heat and power of generating u...

Modified particle swarm optimization for economic-emission load dispatch of power system operation

This paper proposes a modified particle swarm optimization considering time-varying acceleration coefficients for the economic-emission load dispatch (EELD) problem. The new adaptive parameter is introduced to update the particle movements through the modification of the velocity equation of the classical particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. The idea is to enhance the performance and ro...
