This paper presents the solution of economic power dispatch (EPD) in thermal power plants using the hybridization of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and simplex search method (SSM). EPD is obtaining the best generating schedule to supply the power demand and covering the transmission losses with minimum overall fuel cost. Physical constraints like valve point loading effects, ramp rate limits and prohibited operating zones are also included with basic EPD problem to increase the practicability in the problem. As PSO performs well in finding the global best solution and SSM in finding the local best solution, thus their combination improves the overall minimum results obtained for the generation fuel cost objective function. The performance of the proposed methodology is tested on different test systems having categories of small-scale, medium-scale and large-scale power system problems. The results obtained are then compared with other reported methods to show the superiority of the proposed algorithm.

This paper integrated the Particle Swarm Optimization and time-varying inertia weight model to propose a Time-Varying Acceleration Coefficients in Particle Swarm Optimization (TVAC-PSO) for dealing with the emission-constrained dynamic economic dispatch (ED) problems. The objective function of Taiwan power dispatch with emission considerations includes the sub-objective functions of operating cost and emissions. The objective function of emissions is estimated by IPCC. TVAC-PSO is used to find the objective function under the operational and system’s constraints. The effectiveness and efficiency of the TVAC-PSO are demonstrated by using a simplified Taiwan power system. It can also provide an interactive mechanism to adjust the emission permit.
