Power dispatch has become an important issue due to the high integration of Wind Power (WP) in power grids. Within this context, this paper presents a new Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based strategy for solving the stochastic Economic Emission Dispatch Problem (EEDP). This problem was solved considering several constraints such as power balance, generation limits, and Valve Point Loading Effects (VPLEs). The power balance constraint is described by a chance constraint to consider the impact of WP intermittency on the EEDP solution. In this study, the chance constraint represents the tolerance that the power balance constraint cannot meet. The suggested framework was successfully evaluated on a ten-unit system. The problem was solved for various threshold tolerances to study further the impact of WP penetration.

In recent years, wind energy has been widely used as an alternative energy source as it is a clean energy with a low running cost. However, the high penetration of wind power (WP) in power networks has created major challenges due to their intermittency. In this study, an elitist multi-objective evolutionary algorithm called non-dominated sorting particle swarm optimization (NSPSO) is proposed to solve the dynamic economic emission dispatch (DEED) problem with WP. The proposed optimization technique referred to as NSPSO uses the non-dominated sorting principle to rank the non-dominated solutions. A crowding distance calculation is added at the end of all iterations of the algorithm. In this study, WP is represented by a chance-constraint which describes the probability that the power balance cannot be met. The uncertainty of WP is described by the Weibull distribution function. In this study, the chance constraint DEED problem is converted into a deterministic problem. Then, the NSPSO is applied to simultaneously minimize the total generation cost and emission of harmful gases. To proof the performance of the proposed method, the ten-unit and forty-unit systems—including wind farms—are used. Simulation results obtained by the NSPSO method are compared with other optimization techniques that were presented recently in the literature. Moreover, the impact of the penetration ratio of WP is investigated.

Purpose This study aims to present a novel optimization technique to solve the combined economic emission dispatch (CEED) problem considering transmission losses, valve-point loading effects, ramp rate limits and prohibited operating zones. This is one of the most complex optimization problems concerning power systems. Design/methodology/approach The proposed algorithm has been called advanced particle swarm optimization (APSO) and was created by applying several innovative modifications to the classic PSO algorithm. APSO performance was tested on four test systems having 14, 40, 54 and 120 generators. Findings The suggested modifications have improved the accuracy, convergence rate, robustness and effectiveness of the algorithm, which has produced high-quality solutions for the CEED problem. Originality/value The results obtained by APSO were compared with those of several other techniques, and the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm was demonstrated. Also, because of its superlative characteristics, APSO can be applied to many other engineering optimization problems. Moreover, the suggested modifications can be easily used in other population-based optimization algorithms to improve their performance.
