A review of optimization methods for economic and emission dispatch considering PV and wind energy

Abstract

Abstract The power generation system has fossil fuels as their major electricity generation source. This source is not reliable and environmentally friendly so, the alternative source such as renewable energy (RE) is getting much attention in the development of a power generation system. To achieve optimal power output for the power system there is a necessity to solve the economic and emission dispatch (EED) problem considering the operational system constraints. Numerous types of research on optimization of fossil fuel cost and emission roles have been focused to solve the concerned power dispatch issue. This paper represents a comprehensive study on combined economic and emission dispatch (CEED) problem with respect to conventional and unconventional energy sources. To optimize the power dispatch problem, the existing algorithm consisting of optimization methods and objective functions in integrated renewable energy sources (RES) system is tested and reviewed. This paper presented various optimization methods applied to different test systems to minimize emission and cost for power dispatch with PV and wind. Future trends and necessary steps next in the field of power dispatch are also been deliberated.
