Abstract
Dynamic economic dispatch with valve-point effects (DED-VPE) is a non-convex and non-differentiable optimization problem that is difficult to solve efficiently. In this paper, a hybrid approach combining mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) and the interior point method (IPM), abbreviated as MILP-IPM, is proposed to solve a DED-VPE problem in which complicated transmission loss is also included. Due to the non-differentiable nature of the DED-VPE problem, the classical derivative-based optimization methods can no longer be used. With the help of model reformulation, a differentiable non-linear programming (NLP) formulation that can be directly solved using the IPM is derived. However, if the DED-VPE problem is solved using the IPM in a single step, the optimization can easily become trapped in a poor local optimum due to its non-convex nature and multiple local minima. To obtain a better solution, an MILP method is required to solve the DED-VPE problem without transmission loss, yielding a good initial point for the IPM to improve the quality of the solution. Simulation results demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed MILP-IPM approach for solving the DED-VPE problem.
