Abstract

This paper is focused on the solution of the non-convex economic power dispatch problem with piecewise quadratic cost functions and practical operation constraints of generation units. The constraints of the economic dispatch problem are power balance constraint, generation limits constraint, prohibited operating zones and transmission power losses. To solve this problem, a meta-heuristic optimization algorithm named crow search algorithm is proposed. A constraint handling technique is also implemented to satisfy the constraints effectively. For the verification of the effectiveness and the superiority of the proposed algorithm, it is tested on 6-unit, 10-unit and 15-unit test systems. The simulation results and statistical analysis show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm. Also, the results confirm the superiority and the high-quality solutions of the proposed algorithm when compared to the other reported algorithms.

Abstract

The practical economic load dispatch problem is a non-convex, non-smooth, and non-linear optimization problem due to including practical considerations such as valve-point loading effects and multiple fuel options. An optimization algorithm named crow search algorithm is proposed in this paper to solve the practical non-convex economic load dispatch problem. Three cases with different economic load dispatch configurations are studied. The simulation results and statistical analysis show the efficiency of the proposed crow search algorithm. Also, the simulation results are compared to the other reported algorithms. The comparison of results confirm the high-quality solutions and the effectiveness of the proposed method for solving the non-convex practical economic load dispatch problem.
