A solution to the generation scheduling problem in power systems with large-scale wind farms using MICA
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel solution, based on the Imperialistic Competition Algorithm (ICA), in order to determine the feasible optimal solution of the Generation Scheduling (GS) problem, in power systems with large scale wind farms. The reserve requirement, load balance and wind power availability constraints are considered in this work. In order to solve a highly constrained GS problem, a modified version of ICA is introduced to improve the initialing new countries and assimilation operators of ICA. The proposed MICA is applied on different test systems, with different wind energy penetration level. The results are compared with other methodologies and the comparison demonstrates the validity and efficiency of the proposed method, which results in near optimal schedules, while considering different equality and inequality constraints. 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

متن کاملScheduling security constraint unit commitment for power system including stochastic wind power generation
This paper introduces a new approach for scheduling security constraint unit commitment (SCUC) including wind farms. Because of uncertainty in wind power production, we tried to develop a new method for incorporating wind power generation in power plant scheduling. For this, wind power generation modeled with unit commitment in a non-linear optimization problem and simulated by submitting diffe...
