Abstract: Economic load dispatch is the process of allocating the required load demand between the available generators in power system while satisfying all units and system equality and inequality constraints. Economic Load Dispatch solutions are found by solving the conventional methods such as lambda iteration, Gradient search method, Linear Programming and Dynamic Programming while at the s...

This paper presents cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) for solving non-convex economic load dispatch (ELD) problems of fossil fuel fired generators considering transmission losses and valve point loading effect. CSA is a new meta-heuristic optimisation technique inspired from the obligate brood parasitism of some cuckoo species by laying their eggs in the nests of other host birds of other species. ...

A distinctive optimization technique known as Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) has gained huge popularity in these recent years due to its flexibility and the ability to avoid reaching local optima. This optimization approach has become a candidate approach for many optimization problems. Unfortunately, this attractive algorithm suffers several downsides including stagnation and slow convergence t...

In this paper two energy dispatch controllers for use in a grid-independent photovoltaic (PV) system are presented. The first, an optimal energy dispatch controller, is based on a class of Adaptive Critic Designs (ACDs) called Action Dependent Heuristic Dynamic Programming (ADHDP). This class of ACDs uses two neural networks to evolve an optimal control strategy over time. The first neural netw...

In this paper we have proposed a control technique for the automatic generation control of multi generating power unit of the interconnected power system. This technique established the relationship between the economic load dispatch and load forecasting mechanism to the classical concepts of the load frequency control (LFC). The LFC system monitors to keep the power system frequency at nominal...

Load forecasting is essential for planning and operation in energy management. It enhances the Energy efficient and reliable operation of a power system. The energy supplied by utilities meets the load plus the energy lost in the system is ensured by this tool. Since in power system the next day’s power generation must be scheduled every day. The dayahead short term load forecasting (STLF) is a...

In this paper, a comprehensive real-time dispatch model considering renewable uncertainty based on dynamic load flow (DLF) is proposed. Through DLF, the primary and secondary frequency regulation amount caused by the variation of renewable energy as well as the line flow when primary and secondary regulation are deployed can be obtained easily. Not only the frequency constraints, but also the r...

This paper presents the use of the improved harmony search method for solving economic load dispatch problems. The harmony search method mimics a jazz improvisation process by musicians in order to seek a fantastic state of harmony. To assess the searching performance of the proposed method, a six-unit thermal generating system acquired from the standard IEEE 30-bus test system was challenged. ...

In a practical power system, the power plants are not located at the same distance from the center of loads and their fuel costs are different. Also, under normal operating conditions, the generation capacity is more than the total load demand and losses. Thus, there are many options for scheduling generation. In an interconnected power system, the objective is to find the real and reactive pow...
