Dynamic Economic Environmental Dispatch of Electric Power Generation using TVAC-PSO
Abstract: This research aims to propose solution to the dynamic non-convex economic load dispatch problem along with emission minimization using particle swarm optimization (PSO). The primitive solution of dynamic economic load dispatch (DELD) problem is to schedule the allocated generator outputs optimally so as to meet the required load demand of particular interval at minimum generation cost, while satisfying (i) all equality and inequality operational constraints and (ii) to reduce emission …
