Economic load dispatch is conducted by the utilities in order to determine the best generation level at the most feasible operating cost. In order to guarantee satisfying energy delivery to the consumer, a precise calculation of generation level is required. In order to achieve accurate and practical solution, several considerations such as prohibited operating zones, valve-point effect and ramp-rate...
In energy industry, generating the correct amount of electrical power is crucial. Economic load dispatch is used to compute the necessary amount of power among the generators. However, each generator in a system is limited by its physical properties that will limit its maximum potential. This prohibited zone divides the actual operation limits of a particular generator into several subdivisions. This...
This paper introduces a new approach of meta-heuristic based method for clustering the optimal location of SVC installation in power system. The algorithm is based on evolutionary particle swarm optimization (EPSO) technique with the objective to minimize the transmission loss in power system. With the formation of cluster decision can be made by power system operators to perform power compensation...
Emission dispatch deals with the process of determining the emission level produced by thermal power plants. Since the concerns toward environmental health paramount, emission dispatch has become a crucial consideration during energy dispatch planning. Different fuel types produce different types of pollutant and thus the total emission level may vary. However, the fluctuation of future load demand...
Emission dispatch is a topic that discusses on the discharge of polluting substance by fossil-fuelled generators. The arising concerns towards environmental quality arouse new trend in power flow studies. Emission dispatch has become a vital consideration during load dispatch scheduling and the power utilities are urged to reduce the pollutant volume to the least. Numerous approaches have been employed...
Unit commitment is among of the key elements in power system planning. Unit commitment is extensively applied by the power utilities to plan the optimal dispatch of generating units in the system. In the deregulated power system industry, it is important to consider several uncertainty constraints during the planning process. This research proposes the application of fuzzy set modeling to determine...
A distinctive optimization technique known as Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) has gained huge popularity in these recent years. This algorithm has turned into a candidate approach to many optimization problems. Unfortunately, this attractive algorithm suffers several drawbacks, including stagnation and slow convergence toward optimal solution. Thus, a new algorithm, termed as Differential Evolution...
Electric utilities are the companies responsible for ensuring energy supply meets their customers' requirement. While ensuring the energy is generated in the right amount, they have to guarantee that the energy is generated within feasible cost. Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) problem involves the scheduling of generating unit outputs that can satisfy load demand at minimum operating cost. Several approaches...
