Dynamic Optimal Dispatch Problem Considering Environmental Constraint Using Water Cycle Algorithm

Abstract

Multi-Objective Dynamic Economic Emission Dispatch problem (MODEED) has acknowledged a substantial consideration lately due to the increase in environmental pollution. In power system Dynamic Economic Emission Dispatch (DEED) conquers a vital position in the process of energy conservation with cost and emission reduction. There comes an extra lining of complication in the field of solving multi-objective problems. The DEED integrating with valve point effect is a sort of dynamic multiobjective non-convex optimization problem for the generating unit systems with the features of non-linearity. The current research paper works on the Water Cycle Algorithm (WCA) framework which is incorporated to the DEED problem and performs efficiently and effectively in terms of 24 hours cost and emissions in comparison to other optimization techniques. To test the operational performance and compatibility of WCA among other evolutionary algorithms; A 5, 10 and 15-unit generating scheme is estimated for a standard load model. The proposed model with better simulation results formulate the better-quality solution. Simulation results have been calculated using Matlab 2017a.
