The restructured electric power industry has brought new challenges and concerns for the secured operation of stressed power systems. As renewable energy resources, distributed generation, and demand response become significant portions of overall generation resource mix, smarter or more intelligent system dispatch technology is needed to cope with new categories of uncertainty associated with ...

This article addresses the challenging task of developing a procedure for day-ahead dispatch planning wind power which emanates from wide geographical area. Using complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition technique, it is shown that low-frequency components area aggregated account largest proportions perturbing energy harnessed wind. By taking advantage slow-varying characteristics compone...

Nowadays, economic load dispatch between generation units with least cost involved is one of the most important issues in utilizing power systems. In this paper, a new method i.e. Water Cycle Algorithm (WCA) which is similar to other intelligent algorithm and is based on swarm, is employed in order to solve the economic load dispatch problem between power plants. In order to investigate the eff...

RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Timely communication is important to ensure high-quality health care. To facilitate this, the Gastro Intestinal Oncology Center Amsterdam (GIOCA) stipulated to dispatch medical reports on the day of the patient's visit. However, with the increasing number of patients, administrative processes at GIOCA were under pressure, and this standard was not met for the majo...

The current paper offers the solution strategy for economic dispatch problem in electric power system implementing ant lion optimization algorithm (ALOA) and bat (BA) techniques. In network, (ED) is a short-term calculation of optimum performance several electricity generations or plan outputs all usable generation units from energy produced to fulfill necessary demand, although equivalent uneq...

Reactive power dispatch plays a main role in order to provide good facility secure and economic operation in the power system. In a power system optimal reactive power dispatch is supported to improve the voltage profile, to reduce losses, to improve voltage stability, to reduce cost etc. This paper presents a brief literature survey of reactive power dispatch and also discusses a comparative s...
