Abstract

A novel multiobjective optimization method for economic emission load dispatch (EELD) with nonsmooth fuel cost and emission level functions in power system operation andscheduling phases is presented. In this paper, the problem treats economy, emission, and transmission line security as competing objectives. The load constraints and operating constraints are taken into account. Assuming that the decision maker (DM) has goals for each of the objective functions, the multiobjective problem is converted into a single-objective optimization by the goal-attainment method, which is then handled by the simulated annealing (SA) technique. The solution methodology can offer a global or near-global noninferior (best compromising) solution in a sense close to the DM's requirements. Results for a sample test system have been presented to demonstrate the applicability and validity of the proposed method.
