Economic load dispatch (ELD) in power system problems involves scheduling the generating units to minimize cost and satisfy constraints. Although previous works propose solutions reduce CO2 emission production cost, an optimal allocation needs be considered on both emission-leading combined economic (CEED). Metaheuristic optimization algorithms perform relatively well ELD problems. The gradient...

Hybrid energy systems (HES) have been proposed to be an important element to enable increasing penetration of clean energy. This paper proposes a methodology for operations optimization to maximize their economic value based on predicted renewable generation and market information. A multienvironment computational platform for performing such operations optimization is also developed. To compen...

through the advent of heterodox approaches in modern economic methodology, mccloskey's contribution on introducing rhetoric in methodology has been nominated as one of the most controversial propositions ever alleged in the literature. concerning new predominant perspectives in philosophy of language, this paper seeks to analyze the theoretical status of rhetoric in the methodology of econ...

one of the significant strategies of the power systems is economic dispatch (ed) problem, which is defined as the optimal generation of power units to produce energy at the lowest cost by fulfilling the demand within several limits. the undeniable impacts of ramp rate limits, valve loading, prohibited operating zone, spinning reserve and multi-fuel option on the economic dispatch of practical p...

In this paper it is outlined the methodology of the model MIREM (Multicriteria Industrial and Regional Economic Model) as the empirical framework for the implementation of an industrial policy in the CEECs countries aspiring to enter the European Union. Its epistemological foundations are taken from M. Porter Theory of Competitive Advantage and B. Balassa Theory of Economic Integration and focu...

This paper presents a biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm to solve the economic loadDispatch (ELD) problem with generator constraints in thermal plants. The applied method can solvethe ELD problem with constraints like transmission losses, ramp rate limits, and prohibited operatingzones. Biogeography is the science of the geographical distribution of biological species. The modelsof...

There is general agreement that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) may deliver transformative socio-economic impacts. However, there is no general agreement on the mechanisms by which the impacts are delivered, for purely efficiency-driven assessment of the impacts leaves many important factors out. To further inquire into the issue of the impact of ICT capabilities, as well as in...
