Abstract
Recently, the combined economic and emission dispatch (CEED) problem, which aims to simultaneously decrease fuel cost and reduce environmental emissions of power systems, has been a widespread concern. To improve the utilization efficiency of primary energy, combined heat and power (CHP) units are likely to play an important role in the future. The goal of this study is to propose an approach to solve the CEED problems in a CHP system which consists of eight power generators (PGs), two CHP units and one heat only unit. Owing to the existence of power loss in power transmission line and the non-convex feasible region of CHP units, the proposed problem is a nonlinear, multi-constraints, non-convex multi-objectives (MO) optimization problem. To deal with it, a recurrent neural network (RNN) combined with a novel technique is developed. It means that the feasible region is separated into two convex regions by using two binary variables to search for different regions. In the frame of the neurodynamic optimization, existence and convergence of the dynamic model are analyzed. It shows that the convergence solution obtained by RNN is the optimal solution of CEED problem. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can generate solutions efficiently.
