This paper presents a solution of the economic load dispatch (ELD) problem with security constraints of power systems, using an iterative technique based on the linear programming method, called “Successive Linear Programming” (SLP). The objective is to minimize the nonlinear function which is the total fuel cost of thermal generating units, while taking into account the security constraints (p...

Harmful ecological effects caused by the emission of gaseous pollutants like sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), can be reduced by load adequate distribution between power plants. However, this leads to a noticeable increase in their operating cost. In order to eliminate this conflict, and to study the trade-off relation between fuel cost and emissions, an approach to solve this mul...

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence especially in evolutionary algorithms have enabled much efficient way to solve the constrained optimization problems in various fields of engineering. In this paper we explain the development of the optimization techniques from single criterion to multi criterion. We also address the Combined Economic and Emissions Dispatch (CEED) problem in therma...

In recent years increasing of thermal power plants air pollution and concentration of carbon dioxide emission leads to the global warming. This paper solves the economic dispatch problem includes the dispatch of systems to the minimize carbon dioxide emissions, as well as to achieve the minimum fuel cost. This paper proposed a lambda based approach for solving the Combined Economic and Emission...

This paper presents a demonstration of solving combined economic and emission dispatch problems by using one of swarm intelligences, called particle swarm optimization. The objective of the combined problem can be expressed by taking both the total production cost and total emission into account with required constraints. Among potential intelligent search methods, particle swarm optimization i...
