A Novel Approach for Optimal Power Dispatch Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) Methods

摘要

This paper presents an Optimal Power Dispatch (OPD) problem is to minimize system operating costs, transmission losses and some other criteria while maintaining an acceptable system performance in terms of limits on generators, real and reactive power output of various compensating devices. Many traditionally and classical optimization methods were used to effectively solve OPD. But more recently deregulation of a power sector and incorporation of Flexible ac transmission systems devices has introduced new issues into the existing OPD problems. As a result, OPD problems have become complex. Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods have been emerged which can solve highly complex OPD problems and provide a global solution. The purpose of this paper is to present an up-to-date state of art of various Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods applied to solve optimal power dispatch problems.
