| 總結: | The solution to power dispatch problem has been an important and basic optimization
procedure in both conventional and restructured power systems. The main objectives of
the power dispatch problem are to minimize the generation cost and emission amount of
generators as well as to meet the power demand. The goal is to determine the most
optimal power sharing among the generating units in a power system.
The practical power dispatch problems consider the technical operating constraints of
generators such as ramp-up and ramp-down limits, lower and upper limits of generators,
and prohibited operating zones. The accurate cost function needs to be taken into
account in the problems for real-world applications by considering the valve-point
loading effects and multiple fuel options. In this thesis, the power dispatch problems
with the aforementioned constraints and cost functions are considered. Several case
studies varied in size and complexity are employed in the power dispatch problems.
Backtracking search algorithm (BSA) as the new evolutionary technique of optimization
is used for solving the problems. Since the power dispatch problem is a constrained
problem, two constraint handling mechanisms are proposed in the optimizer and are
compared to each other in terms of solution quality they produce. BSA with two
constraint handling mechanisms is applied to solve the power dispatch problems to
select the better mechanism in power dispatch problems. Then, a microgrid with several
renewable and conventional generating units is modeled for the purpose of optimal
power dispatch. The problem is solved by BSA with the selected constraint handling
mechanism to minimize the generation cost of the microgrid for a specific period of
time. The multi-objective BSA is also developed to solve the economic and emission
dispatch problems (EED) in a power system. The EED problem is solved by three
methodologies including economic and emission dispatch separately, combined
iv
economic and emission dispatch, and economic and emission dispatches
simultaneously.
The high performance of the proposed technique with the proposed constraint handling
mechanism is validated by solving the power dispatch problem in the large-scale test
systems with the most complex cost functions. The proposed method is also compared
with other well-known optimization methods from the literature in terms of the solution
quality. The results show that the proposed method is highly robust when it deals with
the practical power dispatch problems and its convergence characteristics make it a
promising solution approach for power dispatch problems.
