Generation Extension Arrangement in Power Engineering Networks Using Chaotic Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm

Abstract

Electric utilities over the domain affected with ecological issues associated with standard fossil fuel-established plants are examining more within the potentiality of interposing energy sources type of plants into the system as an alternative. Integration of Demand Side Management (DSM) and Supply Side Management (SSM) is required in a rational power system planning that implies concurrent deliberation of both qualitative and quantitative problems like costs, fuel mix, and reliability of power supply. This chapter examines the economic and environmental ability of power supplies initiation into an existing peak deficit power system, incorporating both DSM and SSM plans. The Generation Expansion Planning (GEP) study is carried out in the power system for the period of 24 years planning horizon.
