In this paper, wind power generators are being incorporated in the multiobjective economic emission dispatch problem which minimizes wind-thermal electrical energy cost and emissions produced by fossil-fueled power plants, simultaneously. Large integration of wind energy sources necessitates an...

This paper proposes a multi-objective probabilistic reactive power and voltage control in distribution networks using wind turbines, hydro turbines, fuel cells, static compensators and load tap changing transforms. The objective functions are total electrical energy costs, the electrical energy...

CHP (Combined heat and power) generation or cogeneration has been considered worldwide as the major alternative to traditional systems in terms of significant energy saving and environmental conservation. Furthermore, the wind power generators and photovoltaic units have vastly speared over the...

This paper proposes a new method called the enhanced charged system search algorithm in order to solve the reserve constrained dynamic optimal power flow. The optimal power flow (OPF) is applied to develop the corrective strategies and to make the least cost dispatches. The static OPF solutions...

This paper presents a new hybrid algorithm based on the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and the Shuffle Frog Leaping algorithms (SFLA) for solving the Optimal Power Flow (OPF) in power systems. In consequence of economical issues and increasing of the social welfare, the OPF problem is turning...

Renewable energy resources such as wind power plants are playing an ever-increasing role in power generation. This paper extends the dynamic economic emission dispatch problem by incorporating wind power plant. This problem is a multi-objective optimization approach in which total electrical...

This paper assesses the operation and management of electrical energy, hydrogen production and thermal load supplement by the Fuel Cell Power Plants (FCPP) in the distribution systems with regard to the uncertainties which exist in the load demand as well as the price of buying natural gas for...

At the moment, due to technology improvements and governmental incentives for the use of green energies, Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) appears to be a promising approach for electricity generation. This motivates the implementation of Wind Farms (WFs) and Fuel Cell Power Plants (FCPPs) over a...

The non-storage characteristics of electricity and the increasing fuel costs worldwide call for the need to operate the systems more economically. Economic dispatch (ED) is one of the most important optimization problems in power systems. ED has the objective of dividing the power demand among...

As a result of today’s rapid socioeconomic growth and environmental concerns, higher service reliability, better power quality, increased energy efficiency and energy independency, exploring alternative energy resources, especially the renewable ones, has become the fields of interest for many...
