The application of the genetic algorithm and micro genetic algorithm are used to solve the optimal power dispatch problem for a multi-node auction market is proposed in this paper. The optimal power dispatch problem is a non-linear optimisation problem with several constraints. The objective of the proposed algorithms is to maximise the total participants’ benefit at all nodes in the system. Th...

Integration of different energy networks will increase additional flexibility to system operation. The key component in such a coupled infrastructure is the energy router, which plays an important role in energy transition and storage to smoothing the prediction error both in renewables and load. The router has the multi-carrier energy generation capability, and builds physical linkages among t...

Economic dispatch is a highly constrained optimization problem in power system encompassing interaction among decision variables. Environmental concerns that arise due to the operation of fossil fired electric generators, transforms classical problem into multiobjective Emission Constrained Economic Dispatch (ECED) problem. The idea behind this problem formulation is to estimate the optimal gen...

Allocation of optimum active power is a backbone of power system generation planning and its high impact contribution is the need of current electrical utilities and power engineers need to browse this area in short and long term planning scenarios. Power demand requirements mapped to economic feasible solutions matching voltage profile, power demand, minimization of losses, voltage stability a...

This paper describes a newly developed Moth-Flame optimization algorithm to deal with optimal reactive power dispatch problem. The prime intention of reactive power dispatch problem is to curtail the real power loss and control the bus voltages in power system network. The Moth-Flame algorithm is one of the most powerful and robust new global optimization algorithms in engineering. The primary ...

In a deregulated multi-area electrical power system the objective is to determine the most economical generation dispatch strategy that could satisfy the area load demands, the tie-line limits and other operating constraints. Usually, economic dispatch (ED) deals only with the cost minimization, but minimization of emission content has also become an equally important concern due to the mandato...
