Application of novel economic emission dispatch by considering the benchmark of multi-stage steam turbines, spinning reserve, and emission loss function

Abstract

A critical global goal is the reduction of carbon emissions, which can be achieved by the application of clean energies such as wind energy in electric networks. However, due to the high volatility and complex behavior of this clean energy, some problems can occur in this network. Herein, a novel model of economic emission dispatch (EED) integrated wind unit is presented. An EED model was adopted to diminish the loss function considering the benchmark of multi-stage steam turbines, spinning reserve, and emission loss function. Both wind turbines and thermal energy station producers were considered in this model. Several nonlinear features of the energy-producing units and their functioning constraints, including valve-point loading effects, dissemination losses, banned functioning zones, spinning reserve, and ramp rate limits were also taken into account. The performance of the designed algorithm was evaluated against other algorithms, revealing that the designed algorithm is efficient, precise, and rapid in solving the problem. Finally, the total cost-saving effects for power generation after considering/neglecting wind power production was discussed. The numerical analysis proved the validity and superiority of the suggested model and showed the fast, economical, and practical nature of this model.
