Minimize electricity generation cost for large scale wind- thermal systems considering prohibited operating zone and power reserve constraints

Wind power plants (WPs) play a very important role in the systems because thermal (TPs) suffers from shortcomings of expensive cost and limited fossil fuels. As compared to other renewable energies, WPs are more effective it can produce electricity all day morning evening. Consequently, this paper integrates optimal generation TPs absolutely exploit energy reduce total TPs. The target be reached by employing proposed method, called one evaluation-based cuckoo search algorithm (OEB-CSA), which is developed (CSA). In addition, conventional particle swarm optimization (PSO) also implemented for comparison. Two test with thirty considering prohibited working zone reserve constraints employed. first system has wind plant (WP) while second two WPs. result comparisons indicate that OEB-CSA best method combined
