Dynamic Combined Economic Emission Load Dispatch Using Perfectly Convergent Particle Swarm Optimization

Determining the optimum performance from a number of power producing facilities in the short term to fulfil system demand with the aim of power forecasting at the lowest cost possible subject to transmission systems energy losses and operating parameters, is known as optimal power dispatch. Power balance constraints, generator limits, emission dispatch constraints, and valve point effects are a few instances of operational constraints. In order to manage the objective function and the operational constraints simultaneously, the proposed Perfectly Convergent Particle swarm optimization has been suggested in this research which outperformed various algorithms from recent literature in consistently giving excellent optimal solutions. The three dynamic test unit systems with three, ten and thirteen generators are considered in this article. For the accurate and efficient dynamic distribution of power, the effects of valve point loading, with or without emissions, prohibited operating zones and transmission line power loss are also taken into account.
