There has been a global effort to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. In an electric resource scheduling, emission dispatch and load economic dispatch problems should be considered. Using renewable energy resources (RESs), especially wind and solar, can be effective in cutting back emissions associated with power system. Further, the application of electric vehicles (EV) capable of b...

In this study we discuss the application of robust optimization to the problem of economic energy dispatch in smart grids. Robust optimization based MPC strategies for tackling uncertain load demands are developed. Unexpected additive disturbances are modelled by defining an affine dependence between the control inputs and the uncertain load demands. The developed strategies were applied to a h...

Optimal system operation, in general, involves the consideration of economy of operation, system security, emissions at fossil-fuel plants, optimal release of water at hydro power plants etc. and aim at improving the efficiency of the power system. In this research work, consideration will be given to two aspects of the optimal system operation, emissions and economy of operation, also known as...

Received Sep 12, 2016 Revised Oct 20, 2016 Accepted Nov 6, 2016 In India Electrical Energy is generated mainly Coal based Thermal Power stations and hydro Electric Power Stations. The main aim of power generating company is to provide good quality and reliable p ower to consumers at minimum cost. The problem of Combined Economic and Emission Dispatch deals with the minimization of both fuel cos...

This paper proposes a new multi-objective based adaptive immune algorithm for solving the combined economic and environmental dispatch problem. Economic dispatch problem deals with the minimization of fuel cost while satisfying a set of equality and inequality constraints. The fossil fuel plants pollute the environment by emitting some toxic gases. Therefore, the traditional minimization of cos...

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...

Economic load dispatch (ELD) is an important optimization task in power system. It is the process of allocating generation among the committed units such that the constraints imposed are satisfied and the energy requirements are minimized. There are three criteria in solving the economic load dispatch problem. They are minimizing the total generator operating cost, total emission cost and sched...
