Short-term Hydro-Thermal-Wind-Solar Power Scheduling: A Case Study of Kanyakumari Region of India

Abstract

In this paper, an advanced modus operandi named the -constrained simplex method (ACSM) is deployed to resolve a real-time hydro-thermal-wind-solar power scheduling problem. ACSM is an updated articulation of the Nonlinear Simplex Method (SM) of Nelder and Mead. It has been designed after interbreeding an ordinary SM with some other methods like-evolutionary method, α-constrained method, etc. To develop this technique three alterations in the SM are adopted (i) -level differentiation, (ii) mutations of the worst point, and (iii) the incorporation of multi-simplexes. A real-time multi-objective hydro-thermal-wind-solar power scheduling problem is established and optimized for the Kanyakumari (Tamil Nadu, India) for the 18th of September of 2020. Four contrary constraints are contemplated for this case study (i)fuel cost and employing cost of wind and solar power system, (ii) emission, (iii) emission, and (iv) emission. The fidelity of the projected practice is trailed upon two test systems. The first test system is hinged upon twenty-four-hour power scheduling of a pure thermal power system. The values of total fuel cost,emission, emission, and emission are attained as 4707.19$/day, 59325.23 kg/day, 207672.70 kg/day, and 561369.20 kg/day, respectively. In the second test system, two thermal generators are reintegrated with renewable energy resources (RER) based power system (hydro, wind, and solar system) for the same power demands. The hydro, wind, and solar data are probed with the Glimn-Kirchmayer model, Weibull Distribution Density Factor, and Normal Distribution model, respectively. The outturns using ACSM are contrasted with the SM and evolutionary method(EM). For this real-time hydro-thermal-wind-solar power scheduling problem the values of fuel cost, emission, emission, and emission are shortened to 1626.41 $/day, 24262.24 kg/day, 71753.80 kg/day, and 196748.20 kg/day, respectively for the specified interval using ACSM and with SM, these values are calculated as 1626.57 $/day, 24264.67 kg/day, 71760.98 kg/day, 196767.68 kg/day, respectively. The results for the same are obtained as 1626.74 $/day, 24267.10 kg/day, 71768.15 kg/day, 196787.55 kg/day, respectively, by using EM. The values of the operating cost of the solar system, wind system, total system transmission losses, and computational time of test system-2 with ACSM, SM, and EM are evaluated as 8438.76 $/day, 19017.42 $/day, 476.69 MW/day & 15.6 seconds; 8439.61 $/day, 19019.33 $/day, 476.74 MW/day and 16.8 sec; and 8447.20 $/day, 19036.43 $/day, 477.17 MW/day and 17.3 sec, respectively. The solutions portray the sovereignty of ACSM over the other two methods in the entire process.

The application of equilibrium optimizer for solving modern economic load dispatch problem considering renewable energies and multiple-fuel thermal units

“…This unexpected issue should be solved in the future work and the power system will become more effective in the future. Besides, the uncertainties and the mathematical models of renewable energy sources, including solar and wind power plants, as considered in (Kaur et al, 2021;Khamharnphol et al, 2022), should be employed while solving the MELD problem as another complex constraint for assessing the efficiency of a modern meta-heuristic algorithm such as EO. This implementation is also a great method to improve the overall quality of the study and make it closer to practice, where the penetration rate of these sources is growing.…”

A Dynamic Optimal Scheduling Strategy for Multi-Charging Scenarios of Plug-in-Electric Vehicles Over a Smart Grid

“…Numerous methods have been used as effective optimization tools and have become widespread in the search for the optimal solution to the EEDs problem [60], [61]. However, the implementation of an appropriate multi-objective economic emission dispatch system is still an intensively studied topic that requires additional effort to balance the power grid network energy flow in order to support the rapid development of PEVs [62]- [64], commercial flying drones, and other dynamic loads of energy storage devices [65]- [67].…”

Optimal Coordinated Dispatching Strategy of Multi-Sources Power System with Wind, Hydro and Thermal Power Based on CVaR in Typhoon Environment

“…Additionally, about the form of upper and lower rotating reserve cost of reference [41], the upper and lower rotating reserve cost of the system can be expressed by the product of the upper and lower rotating reserve power and their unit price shown in Equation (10). Additionally, for the purpose of reducing hydro and wind power abandonment, the objective function in Equation ( 10) contains the cost of wind and hydropower abandonment that is linearly related to the power of the abandonment of wind and water [42]. Similarly, in order to limit the transmission power below the range allowed by network security, the cost of network security protection is introduced to the optimization goal of the proposed model.…”
