Abstract

AbstractDynamic economic dispatch problem or DED is an extension of static economic dispatch problem or SED which is used to determine the generation schedule of the committed units so as to meet the predicted load demand over a time horizon at minimum operating cost under ramp rate constraints and other constraints. This work presents an efficient hybrid method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and termite colony optimization (TCO) for solving DED problem. The hybrid method employs PSO for global search and TCO for local search in an interleaved mode towards finding the optimal solution. After the first round iteration of local search by TCO, the best local solutions are considered by PSO to update the schedules globally. In the next round, TCO performs local search around each solution found by PSO. This paper reports the methodology and result of application of PSO–TCO hybrid to 5-unit, 10-unit and 30-unit power dispatch problems; the result shows that the PSO–TCO (HPSTCO) gives improved solution compared to PSO or TCO (when applied separately) and also other hybrid methods.

Key Questions

What is the main focus of this paper?

The paper focuses on solving the Dynamic Economic Dispatch (DED) problem using a hybrid approach combining Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Termite Colony Optimization (TCO).

What is the benefit of using the hybrid PSO-TCO method?

The hybrid method leverages PSO for global search and TCO for local search, improving solution quality by overcoming the fast convergence issues in PSO.

What are the applications of this research?

The research is applicable to power system optimization, particularly in determining the most cost-efficient generation schedules for power plants.

What types of power dispatch problems were tested?

Tests were conducted on 5-unit, 10-unit, and 30-unit power dispatch problems, demonstrating the effectiveness of the hybrid method.

What challenges do traditional methods face in solving DED problems?

Traditional methods struggle with non-smooth or non-convex cost functions, making them less effective for solving complex DED problems.

What is the significance of hybrid metaheuristics in this study?

Hybrid metaheuristics combine the strengths of different optimization techniques, offering better performance compared to single-heuristic approaches in solving DED problems.
