Improved time varying inertia weight PSO for solved economic load dispatch with subsidies and wind power effects

摘要

This article presents a new approach to economic load dispatch (ELD) problems by the considering the cost functions, impact renewable energy as wind turbin and subsidies. Economic dispatch is the short-term determination of the optimal output of a number of electricity generation facilities, to meet the system load, at the lowest possible cost, subject to transmission and operational constraints. The main goal in the deregulated system is subsidies and analysis performance on government to minimize the total fuel cost while satisfying the load demand and operational constraints. The practical ELD problems have nonsmooth cost functions with equality and inequality constraints, which make the problem of finding the global optimum difficult when using any mathematical approaches. Accordingly, particle swarm optimization with time-varying inertia weight (PSO-TVIW) used for solving this problem. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is applied over real-world engineering problem and highly constrained. Obtained results indicate that PSO-TVIW can successfully solve this problem.
