Dynamic Economic Dispatch (DED) plays a vital role in power generation, operation and control. It is a complicated, non-linear constrained problem. In this paper, Maclaurin series based Lagrangian method (MSL) is used to solve the DED problem for generating units with valve-point effect, considering the ramp rate limits. Using Maclaurin series, the sine term used to model the valve-point effect...

This research was conducted to organize and model a comprehensive paratransit dispatching task activity in a computer-assisted control room. The dispatching task involves continuous monitoring and interaction with archived and real-time data using a dispatch software. Extensive field observations and video recordings of dispatch operations were conducted. Then, an expert dispatcher was used to ...

This paper presents the application of Water Wave Optimization Algorithm (WWOA) for solving economic dispatch problems including practical generator constraints. WWOA is inspired by the shallow water wave theory. The efficiency of the WWO Algorithm for solving economic dispatch problems is demonstrated by implementing it on three test systems having three, six and fifteen generating units with ...

Abstract: The economic dispatch has the objective of generation allocation to the power generators in such a way that the total fuel cost is minimized while all operating constraints are satisfied. The schematic methods assume the cost curves of generators are linear but in case of modern generators this assumption makes inaccuracy in economic dispatch because of valve point loading effect, pro...

In recent years increasing of thermal power plants air pollution and concentration of carbon dioxide emission leads to the global warming. This paper solves the economic dispatch problem includes the dispatch of systems to the minimize carbon dioxide emissions, as well as to achieve the minimum fuel cost. This paper proposed a lambda based approach for solving the Combined Economic and Emission...

One of the key research issues in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is how to efficiently deploy sensors to cover an area. In this paper, we present a Fishnet Based Dispatch Scheme (FiBDS) with energy aware mobility and interest based sensing angle. We propose two algorithms, one is FiBDS centralized algorithm and another is FiBDS distributed algorithm. The centralized algorithm is designed speci...

Economic load dispatch (ELD) problem is a common task in the operational planning of a power system, which requires to be optimized. This paper presents an effective and reliable particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique for the economic load dispatch problem. The results have been demonstrated for ELD of standard 3-generator and 6-generator systems with and without consideration of transmiss...

Urban rail transit brings huge economic and social benefits to the society, however, the event of accidents and breakdown of subway can cause a wide range of traffic impact, significant personal and economic losses and even cause traffic paralysis. Current domestic emergency dispatch and command model is basically "man-based", therefore the validity and effectiveness of emergency scheduling dec...

A virtual power plant takes advantage of interactive communication and energy management systems to optimize and coordinate the dispatch of distributed generation, interruptible loads, energy storage systems and battery switch stations, so as to integrate them as an entity to exchange energy with the power market. This paper studies the optimal dispatch strategy of a virtual power plant, based ...

This paper presents a novel probabilistic optimization algorithm for simultaneous active and reactive power dispatch in power systems with significant wind power integration. Two types of load and wind-speed uncertainties have been assumed that follow normal and Weibull distributions, respectively. A PV bus model for wind turbines and the wake effect for correlated wind speed are used to achiev...
