Wind power is developing rapidly all around the world and at present total installed capacity is about 120,000 MW. Due to continuous improvements in turbine efficiency and increasing fuel prices, wind power is becoming economically competitive compared to conventional power generation. Combined economic/emission dispatch (CEED) involves the simultaneous optimization of two conflicting objectives namely...
Sustainable energy resources, particularly wind power, are rapidly becoming generation technologies of significance around the world. A multi-objective generation dispatch problem that considers environment and fuel cost under substantial penetration of wind energy is proposed in this paper. The nonlinear characteristics of thermal units and their operational constraints, such as generation limitations,...
The conventional economic dispatch problem in electric power generation is mainly concerned with minimizing operating cost. This study presents a multiple PSO algorithm of solving the multi-objective power dispatch problem that minimizes both the fuel cost and environmental impact from emission. An integrated factor is used to combine the multiple objective functions. The PSO method and a distance...
This paper is on the short-term thermal scheduling (STTS) problem, particularly concerning the new competitive and environmentally constrained electricity supply industry. On the one hand, within the electricity market, STTS has evolved from a minimum-cost policy in state-owned monopolistic companies to a profit-based policy under market conditions. On the other hand, as a consequence of growing environmental...
With increasing concern of environmental protection, renewable energy sources especially wind power are widely applied as a mean to reach emission reduction. Although wind generation does not produce harmful emissions, its effect on the generation dispatch of conventional plants can actually cause an increase of emission especially during low and middle power demand period. A multi-objective generation...
This paper applies a data envelopment analysis procedure that incorporates the Mass Balance to estimate the allocations of coal, gas and oil inputs that minimize carbon emissions and costs. Findings for our three-input(coal, gas and oil) sample show that there would be a 79% increase in cost for moving from the cost efficient point to the carbon efficient point, while there would be a 38% increase...
