When larger scale of small hydropower and wind power exist in power system, the traditional reserve capacity algorithm is no longer applicable at the same time of reducing the carbon emission. Aiming at the volatility and non-regulatory of small hydropower and wind power, considering the forecast error of small hydropower, wind power and load,the unit outage rate and other factors, combined with the actual operation parameters of one regional power system in Southwest of China, the wind-hydro – thermal power coordinated operation of multiple objective function optimization calculation model of reserve capacity is established. Using the weighted coefficient method of unified objective method, it transforms the multi-objective optimization problem into a single objective optimization one. Applying the exterior penalty function method, the constrained optimization problem is changed into a non-constrained optimization one. The improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is got by introducing the particle concentration cognition into traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm. The simulation results verify the validity of the model. To Compare them under different strategies, this method can get less fuel expenses of thermal power units in the case of lower loss of load probability (LOLP).With the small hydropower and wind power output size to optimize the spinning reserve capacity. The model and the algorithm are helpful for drawing up optimization strategies of the reserve capacity in those regions in which larger scale small hydropower and wind power exists.

In this paper, a novel hybrid optimization approach, namely, gravitational particle swarm optimization algorithm (GPSOA), is introduced based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and gravitational search algorithm (GSA) to solve combined economic and emission dispatch (CEED) problem considering wind power availability for the wind-thermal power system. The proposed algorithm shows an interesting hybrid strategy and perfectly integrates the collective behaviors of PSO with the Newtonian gravitation laws of GSA. GPSOA updates particle’s velocity caused by the dependent random cooperation of GSA gravitational acceleration and PSO velocity. To describe the stochastic characteristics of wind speed and output power, Weibull-based probability density function (PDF) is utilized. The CEED model employed consists of the fuel cost objective and emission-level target produced by conventional thermal generators and the operational cost generated by wind turbines. The effectiveness of the suggested GPSOA is tested on the conventional thermal generator system and the modified wind-thermal power system. Results of GPSOA-based CEED problems by means of the optimal fuel cost, emission value, and best compromise solution are compared with the original PSO, GSA, and other state-of-the-art optimization approaches to reveal that the introduced GPSOA exhibits competitive performance improvements in finding lower fuel cost and emission cost and best compromise solution.

The power loss in electrical power systems is an important issue. Many techniques are used to reduce active power losses in a power system where the controlling of reactive power is one of the methods for decreasing the losses in any power system. In this paper, an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm using eagle strategy (ESPSO) is proposed for solving reactive power optimization problem to minimize the power losses. All simulations and numerical analysis have been performed on IEEE 30-bus power system, IEEE 118-bus power system, and a real power distribution subsystem. Moreover, the proposed method is tested on some benchmark functions. Results obtained in this study are compared with commonly used algorithms: particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, genetic algorithm (GA), artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, firefly algorithm (FA), differential evolution (DE), and hybrid genetic algorithm with particle swarm optimization (hGAPSO). Results obtained in all simulations and analysis show that the proposed method is superior and more effective compared to the other methods.

The hybrid wind/PV/pumped-storage power system was the hybrid system which combined hybrid wind/PV system and pumped-storage power station. System optimization was very important in the system design process. Particle swarm optimization algorithm was a stochastic global optimization algorithm with good convergence and high accuracy, so it was used to optimize the hybrid system in this paper. First, the system reliability model was established. Second, the particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to optimize the system model in Nanjing. Finally, The results were analyzed and discussed. The optimization results showed that the optimal design method of wind/PV/pumped-storage system based on particle swarm optimization could take into account both the local optimization and the global optimization, which has good convergence high precision. The optimal system was that LPSP (loss of power supply probability) was zero.

As sources of conventional energy are alarmingly being depleted, leveraging renewable energy sources, especially wind power, has been increasingly important in the electricity market to meet growing global demands for energy. However, the uncertainty in weather factors can cause large errors in wind power forecasts, raising the cost of power reservation in the power system and significantly impacting ancillary services in the electricity market. In pursuance of a higher accuracy level in wind power forecasting, this paper proposes a double-optimization approach to developing a tool for forecasting wind power generation output in the short term, using two novel models that combine an artificial neural network with the particle swarm optimization algorithm and genetic algorithm. In these models, a first particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to adjust the neural network parameters to improve accuracy. Next, the genetic algorithm or another particle swarm optimization is applied to adjust the parameters of the first particle swarm optimization algorithm to enhance the accuracy of the forecasting results. The models were tested with actual data collected from the Tuy Phong wind power plant in Binh Thuan Province, Vietnam. The testing showed improved accuracy and that this model can be widely implemented at other wind farms.
