This paper presents a demonstration of solving combined economic and emission dispatch problems by using one of swarm intelligences, called particle swarm optimization. The objective of the combined problem can be expressed by taking both the total production cost and total emission into account with required constraints. Among potential intelligent search methods, particle swarm optimization i...

Economic load dispatch is one of the main functions of electrical power management systems. The main objective of economic load dispatch is to minimize the fuel cost while satisfying the required equality and inequality constraints. Economic Load Dispatch is a well known problem and has been a major concern for researchers and industrialists all around the world. The problem consists of divisio...

This paper proposes per unit coding for combined economic emission load dispatch problem. In the proposed coding, it is possible to apply the percent effects of elements in any number and with high accuracy in objective function. In the proposed per unit coding, each function is transformed into per unit form based on its own maximum value and has a value from 0 to 1. In this paper, particle sw...

This paper addresses the problem of reducing CO2 emissions by applying convex optimal power flow model to the combined economic and emission dispatch problem. The large amount of CO2 emissions in the power industry is a major source of global warming effect. An efficient and economic approach to reduce CO2 emissions is to formulate the emission reduction problem as emission dispatch problem and...

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has received increasing attention in solving multi-objective economic dispatch (ED) problems in power systems because of parallel computation, faster convergence, and easier implementation. This paper presents a detailed overview of multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) and provides a comprehensive survey on its applications in power system econom...

Due to the environmental concerns that arise from the emissions produced by fossil-fueled electric power plants, the classical economic dispatch, which operates electric power systems so as to minimize only the total fuel cost, can no longer be considered alone. Thus, by environmental dispatch, emissions can be reduced by dispatch of power generation to minimize emissions. The environmental/eco...

The main purpose of this research is to determine the generation quantity of each generator in a power system. In this way, not only will the electricity demanded by the system be supplied, but the cost of fuel along with the level of pollution can be minimized. Obviously, calculation of the optimal layout of power plants with the aim of minimizing fuel costs and pollutants level contributes to...

Economic Dispatch Problem (EDP) has been discussed with reference to the developments based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) approaches. A selected survey / overview on Economic Dispatch using Artificial Neural Network within the IEE/IEEE publications frame work have been presented.
