Economic load dispatch problem becomes complex, when renewable energy sources are also considered with thermal power plant. Therefore, it is challenging to find the optimal solution at lower fuel cost, such that generation meets the load demand. This paper is mainly aimed to design economic load dispatch model for thermal and wind power plants. Due to the varying nature of wind speed, probabilistic...
This paper proposed an economic dispatch scheme based on stochastic frame. Compared with conventional dispatch, the stochastic dispatch fully considers the variation of distributed load variations in the grid between dispatch intervals. The objective function of the stochastic dispatch scheme aims to minimize the distribution of fuel cost rather than a single value. Due to the stochastic analysis,...
This paper presents Microgrid (MG) optimization using Genetic Algorithm. The MG model is based on renewable energy sources (wind turbine) and gas generator. The algorithm objective is determine the optimal size of combined wind and gas generator to satisfy a given Key Performance Indices (KPIs). The selected KPIs describe both dynamic and static performance of MG. The KPIs describing the dynamic performance...
This paper presents an overview of optimization field in case of condensing power plant. Different parameters of power system such as power losses, voltage drop, optimal placement, volume of generators, etc. were considered here; the analysis of their impact on generation process was conducted. The idea is to make a comparison between different models of energy systems and to show how fuel consumption...
In this paper we face the problem of the joint optimization of both topology and network parameters in order to minimize the total active power losses in a real Smart Grid. It is considered a portion of the Italian electric distribution network managed by the ACEA Distribuzione S.p.A. located in Rome which presents back-flows of active power for 20% of the annual operative time. It includes about...
In this paper the problem of the minimization of active power losses in a real Smart Grid located in the area of Rome is faced by defining and solving a suited multi-objective optimization problem. It is considered a portion of the Italian electric distribution network managed by the ACEA Distribuzione S.p.A. which presents backflow of active power for 20% of the annual operative time. The network...
The use of distributed generators (DGs), especially renewables like wind and solar photovoltaics, depends upon inverter technology to provide compatibility between multiple DGs on a local bus. It is becoming more common to group dissimilar DGs together to form microgrids, and desirable to allow DGs to be connected or disconnected without detrimental effects upon the stability of the microgrid. This...
