Dynamic Economic Dispatch with Valve-Point Effect Using Crow Search Algorithm

Öz

This paper presents a method based on meta-heuristic to solve Dynamic Economic Dispatch (DED) problem in a power system. In this paper, Crow Search Algorithm (CSA), which is one of the heuristic methods is proposed to solve the DED problem in a power system. In this study, line losses, generation limit values of generators, generation-consumption balance, valve-point effect and ramp rate limits of generator are included as constraints. The proposed algorithm was implemented on two different test cases. Finally, the CSA results were compared with the results of well-known heuristics in the literature such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Symbiotic Organism Search (SOS) algorithm, Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm, Simulated Annealing (SA), Imperial Competitive Algorithm (ICA), Modified Ant Colony Optimization (MACO) algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm has a better operating cost. With the results of the algorithm proposed in the test system 1, a profit of $2,056,5931 per day and $751,751,4815 per year is obtained. It is seen that with the results of the algorithm proposed in the test system 2, a daily profit of $12,279,7328 and a yearly profit of $4,482,102,472 are obtained. Test systems are operated by using less fuel with the results of the proposed algorithm and thus the harmful gas emissions released by thermal production units to the environment are also reduced.
