The integration of renewable wind and pumped storage with thermal power generation allows for dispatch of wind energy by generation companies (GENCOs) interested in participation in energy and ancillary services markets. However, to realize the maximum economic profit, optimal coordination and accounting for reduction in cost for environmental emission is necessary. The goal of this study is to...

in today’s restructured environment, congestion management plays an essential role in power system operation. different methods are presented and discussed in this respect for congestion management in short-term and long-term intervals. it is attempted in the present paper to investigate the impact mechanism of facts devices and demand response programs together with generation re-dispatch as s...

nowadays, economic load dispatch between generation units with least cost involved is one of the most important issues in utilizing power systems. in this paper, a new method i.e. water cycle algorithm (wca) which is similar to other intelligent algorithm and is based on swarm, is employed in order to solve the economic load dispatch problem between power plants. in order to investigate the eff...

Operating a modern power grid reliably in case of SCADA/EMS failure or amid difficult times like COVID-19 pandemic is challenging task for operators. In [11], PMU-based emergency generation dispatch scheme has been proposed to help the system operators with supply and demand balancing; however, its realization highly relies on control center infrastructure computing communication. This work, ra...

As large-scale wind power has been and will be integrated into power grid, traditional Active Power Dispatch and Control (APDC) system has encountered new challenges. In this paper, the active power dispatch mode of interconnected power grids which is suitable for the large-scale integration of wind power is analyzed firstly. Secondly, it is pointed out that traditional decentralized balance co...

this paper proposes a novel technique for solving generation scheduling and ramp rate constrained unit commitment. a modified objective function associated with a new start-up cost term is introduced in this paper. the proposed method is used to solve generating scheduling problem satisfying srr, minimum up and down time as well as ramp rate constraints. two case studies are conducted to implem...

Economic load dispatch (ELD) is an important optimization task in power system. It is the process of allocating generation among the committed units such that the constraints imposed are satisfied and the energy requirements are minimized. There are three criteria in solving the economic load dispatch problem. They are minimizing the total generator operating cost, total emission cost and sched...

In a practical power system, the power plants are not located at the same distance from the center of loads and their fuel costs are different. Also, under normal operating conditions, the generation capacity is more than the total load demand and losses. Thus, there are many options for scheduling generation. In an interconnected power system, the objective is to find the real and reactive pow...

The increasing penetration of non-synchronous, renewable energy in modern power systems displaces synchronous generation and affects transient stability. This is just one of the factors that has led to preventive curtailment of renewable energy sources in an increasing number of electrical grids. Transient stability constrained optimal power flow (OPF) techniques provide a tool to optimize the ...

Abstract The power generation of wind energy conversion system (WECS) is varied with wind speed. Although wind power generation is not dispatch able, an accurate forecasting method of wind power generation for WECS can help the power system operator to reduce operating costs of power system. The artificial neural network is one of the best tools applied to forecast. This paper uses the back pro...
