Abstract

Abstract: Due to gradually reduction of fossil fuel, the cost-effective use of available fuel for electric power generation has turn out to be a very significant concern of electric power utilities. This work recommends horse herd optimization algorithm (HOA) to solve fuel constrained combined heat and power dynamic economic dispatch with demand side management integrating wind turbine generators, solar PV plants and pumped storage hydro plant for three different scenarios. The effectiveness of the recommended method is divulged on an archetypal system. Numerical results of archetypal system for three different scenarios are compared with those obtained from self-organizing hierarchical particle swarm optimizer with time-varying acceleration coefficients, fast convergence evolutionary programming, differential evolution and real-coded genetic algorithm. It has been seen from numerical results, that the total cost with fuel constraints is more than the cost without fuel constraints. It has been also observed from the comparison that the recommended HOA has the capability to confer with superior-quality solution. Highlights: Combined heat and power dynamic economic dispatch with DSM is presented. Fuel constraints of thermal generating units and cogeneration units are considered. Pumped-storage-hydraulic units and renewable energy sources are considered. Horse herd optimization algorithm has been used for solving the problem.
