This paper develops an efficient and clear insight view about the application of various PSO algorithms to the economic load dispatch problem with emission restrictions as the constraint. Solution acceleration techniques in the algorithm which enhance the speed and robustness of the algorithm are developed. The power and usefulness of the algorithm is demonstrated through its application to a t...

We study the impact of capturing spatiotemporal correlations between multiple wind supply points on economic dispatch procedures. Using a simple dispatch model, we first show analytically that over/underestimation of correlation leads to positive and negative biases of dispatch cost, respectively. A rigorous, large-scale computational study for the State of Illinois transmission grid with real ...

This paper proposes a novel reactive power dispatch model that takes into account both the technical and economical aspects associated with reactive power dispatch in the context of the new operating paradigms in competitive electricity markets. The main objective of the proposed model is to minimize the total amount of dollars paid by the system operator to the generators for providing the req...

The energy dispatch problem is a fundamental research issue in power distribution networks. With the growing complexity and dimensions of current distribution networks, there is an increasing need for intelligent and scalable mechanisms to facilitate energy dispatch in these networks. To this end, in this paper, we propose a multi-agent coalition formation-based energy dispatch mechanism. This ...
