A cost-effective solution to security constrained dispatch problem of Islanded microgrid using chaotic spotted Hyena optimization

ABSTRACT Power system network is growing day by day as per the increased demand due to technological development around the globe. The increased power demand needs optimized planning for all the sections of power system. Economic dispatch is one of the important areas in which new optimization techniques can add to the overall improvement in the power system planning. Recent technological improvement in microgrids results in economic and efficient operation considering both conventional and non-conventional methods of generation. This paper highlights the optimal scheduling requirement in the advanced power system control by introducing a new proposed metaheuristic hybrid approach, i.e., Chaotic Spotted Hyena Optimization (CSHO). The proposed approach improves and intensifies the conventional approach and the results obtained are compared with some well-known published approaches using standard data. The CSHO is implemented on an islanded microgrid having five distributed generators out of which three are conventional generators and two are renewable sources. Three objectives are tested on the microgrid-(1) Economic scheduling, (2) Environmental emission and (3) CEED for Microgrid and the results of proposed approach are tested in four scenarios and compared with the PSO, DE, SOS, GWO and WOA approaches. The result achieved from the proposed approach is remarkable over previous approaches and showing enhanced economic operation, which are verified and presented in different sections of paper.

Scheme and design for advanced energy control centers

The concept and detailed design of advanced power system control centers that are highly integrated with all power system operations, planning, and management are presented. The latest examples of these designed control centers are also described. The results of these studies indicate that advanced power system control systems can be achieved in the near future and are essential to highly integrated systems for power system operations, planning and management, in order to secure a more economical and stable supply of electric energy. Integration of control systems into a total computer network system not only effectively reduces labor costs and software development but also greatly improves the quality and reliability of the control systems. Such integration also allows the application of upgraded and well-used analytical and optimizing offline program packages to online control. Such a well-integrated system will also result in various unexpected benefits to power system operations, planning, and management. >
