In this paper, Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) algorithm is used to find the optimum solution of Combined Economic Emission Dispatch (CEED) problem. The main objective is to minimize the fuel cost as well as emission level, while satisfying the power demand and associative operational constraints. The bi-objective problem is made to a single objective function using the price penalty factor. S...

The Combined Heat and Power Economic Emission Load Dispatch (CHPEED) is an optimization problem to minimize the cost and emission while ensuring the fulfilling the power and heat demand and feasible constraints. This paper presents Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique and other to solve CHPEED with bounded feasible operating region. The main potential of this technique is that it proper ...

Generally the generation units in the traditional structure of the electricity industry try to minimize their costs. However, in a deregulated environment, generation units are looking to maximize their profits in a competitive power market. Optimum generation planning in such structure is urgent. This paper presents a new method of solving economic dispatch in the competitive electricity marke...

One of the significant strategies of the power systems is Economic Dispatch (ED) problem, which is defined as the optimal generation of power units to produce energy at the lowest cost by fulfilling the demand within several limits. The undeniable impacts of ramp rate limits, valve loading, prohibited operating zone, spinning reserve and multi-fuel option on the economic dispatch of practical p...

Conventional transportation and electricity industries are considered as two major sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission. Improvement of vehicle’s operational efficiency can be a partial solution but it is necessary to employ Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) and Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) in the network to slow the increasing rate of the GHGs emission. However, it is crucial ...

Electric power industry should play a bigger role in energy conservation and emission reduction, while the ecosystem degradation rises because of the shortage of energy, the greenhouse effect and the environmental pollution. Power generation dispatch is the key practice in electric power industry. In this paper, the value based dispatch theory is proposed, which assign the value of the natural ...
