This paper introduces a general optimization approach for power dispatch and conversion in power systems that include multiple energy carriers such as electricity, natural gas, and district heating. The classical Economic Dispatch method is modified in order to account for certain system properties, such as the possibility of conversion between the different energy carriers, or local overproduc...

In this paper, the economically self-sufficient microgrid is planned to provide electric power and heat demand. The combined power-based needs strategic placement of distributed generators concerning optimal size, location, type. As fossil fuel cost emission depend mainly on types generator units used in microgrid, economic dispatch performed for an hour with a static load demand multiple deman...

There has been a global effort to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. In an electric resource scheduling, emission dispatch and load economic dispatch problems should be considered. Using renewable energy resources (RESs), especially wind and solar, can be effective in cutting back emissions associated with power system. Further, the application of electric vehicles (EV) capable of b...
