In this paper particle swarm optimization with smart inertia factor (PSO-SIF) algorithm is proposed to solve combined heat and power economic dispatch (CHPED) problem. The CHPED problem is one of the most important problems in power systems and is a challenging non-convex and non-linear optimization problem. The aim of solving CHPED problem is to determine optimal heat and power of generating u...

Nowadays, ever-increasing energy demands and the depletion of fossil fuels require efficient environmentally friendly technologies for generation. In this context, systems integration makes a very strong proposition since it results in saving, fuel diversification, supply cleaner energy. To end, is utmost importance to realize current developments field portray state art renewable generation in...

Microgrid (MG) is considered as a feasible solution to integrate the distributed energy sources. In this paper, optimal scheduling of a grid-connected MG is investigated considering different power sources as combined heat and power (CHP) units, only power and heat generating units, and battery storage systems. Two different feasible operating regions are considered for the CHP units. In additi...

Energy delivery at well construction in regions with hard climate is distinguished by variable demand in electric and heat power. Energy consumption of drilling equipment, production and living facilities varies greatly during the year, depending on power load charts and climate conditions. Power supply of remote well construction sites is mostly accomplished by operating autonomous power sourc...
