Optimization Study of Carbon Emissions in Wind Power Integrated Systems Based on Optimal Dispatch Algorithm

Abstract

Abstract With the integration of wind power into the power system, dispatch becomes more complex and existing algorithms are no longer applicable. This paper focuses on optimizing carbon emissions in wind farm generation while considering issues related to wind power integration and carbon trading. An optimal dispatch algorithm was designed with the objective of minimizing total costs, which was then solved using the cuckoo search (CS) algorithm. Additionally, an adaptive improvement was made to the CS algorithm to obtain the improved cuckoo search (ICS) algorithm. An analysis was conducted on a case study with 10 units. The ICS algorithm obtained higher quality solutions, with a total cost of $ 632 719 and a calculation time of 0.51 minutes, which was superior to the solutions obtained by the particle swarm optimization and CS algorithms. Fluctuations in the confidence level of system rotation reserve capacity could lead to variations in the final system cost, which needs to be adjusted according to actual conditions. The dispatch scheme obtained by the ICS algorithm showed reduced carbon emissions, total costs, and better performance when compared with the optimal dispatch algorithm in different scenarios. The results show that the proposed methods are reliable and practical.
