Economic Load Dispatch of Renewable Energy Integrated System Using Jaya ‎Algorithm

Abstract

With day by day increase in electrical energy demand and uneven distribution of sources in nature, there is a need of Integration of power plants. This integration needs a proper scheduling of all connected generating units in accordance with the variation in load demand. An optimum sharing of load is necessary to minimize the generation cost. Emission is also an important issue in a generation. An attempt is also made in this paper to analyze emission dispatch with the Economic Dispatch optimization. Environmental effects tend to involve renewable sources based power generation. Wind and Solar are most popular and highly abundant among all renewable sources. But, the fluctuations of these sources complicate the load dispatch optimization. Also, the conventional thermal generators itself affected by certain constraints and non linearity such as valve-point loading effect. A proper planning should involve consideration of all this issue, which requires advance soft computing technique. Previous approaches need proper tuning of their specific parameters, to remove this ambiguity, a new Jaya Algorithm technique is introduced in this paper.
