The high penetration of the wind energy in the power systems raises some issues such as ramping and mismatch between the wind power and power demand. One of the possible solutions to these issues is the demand side management (DSM). In this paper, dynamic economic dispatch (DED) incorporating different penetration levels of wind energy and utilizing the DSM is proposed to solve the issues related to high penetration of wind energy. The effect of utilizing the DSM on the operation cost with different test cases is discussed. The General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS) using BARON as a solver and genetic algorithm (GA) with hybrid function are used to solve the proposed DED model and a comparison between them is assessed. The proposed model is applied to a six units' generation system to test the effectiveness of the proposed model. Ó 2015 Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University.

Isolated microgrids (IMGs) power remote areas. However, IMG may lower the frequency stability and increase frequency excursions with low system inertia. Load frequency management ensures system stability. Thus, the paper proposes a novel multi-objective tuning strategy to improve IMG's load frequency control (LFC) and take the microgrid controller's control signals into account. Diesel engine generator, fuel cell, battery energy storage system, and renewable energy sources (RESs) like photovoltaic and wind systems make up the IMG. Conventional controllers such as proportional-integral (PI) and proportional integral derivative (PID) are classically tuned based on the standard error criteria as a traditional single-objective tuning approach. Due to the low inertia of the system and the stochastic nature of RES, they cannot act as required under different operating scenarios. Therefore, the PI and PID controllers are tuned using the proposed multi-objective-based tuning approach to reduce the frequency deviations. In addition, anti-windup is applied to the enhanced classic controllers to keep them distant from the nonlinear zone and beyond the source's physical constraints. The proposed tuning process also considers the maximum practical generation rates for different sources. The recent Artificial Rabbits Optimization (ARO) algorithm is applied to simultaneously adjust the controller parameters for several controlled sources in IMG. Extensive simulations in MATLAB and Simulink confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach to keep the system stable even when facing high levels of disturbances. In addition, accomplishing sensitivity analysis, severe ±25% changes to the system's parameters guarantee that the proposed tuning strategy keeps the system stable.
