This paper presents hybrid differential evolution (DE) and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) for solving the dynamic economic dispatch (DED) problem for generating units with valve-point effects. DE is used as a global optimizer and SQP is used as a fine tuning to determine the optimal solution at the final. The feasibility of the proposed method is validated with five-and ten-unit test systems. Results obtained by DE-SQP method are compared with other techniques in the literature.

Combined heat and power dynamic economic dispatch (CHPDED) plays a key role in economic operation of power systems. CHPDED determines the optimal heat and power schedule of committed generating units by minimizing the fuel cost under ramp rate constraints and other constraints. Due to complex characteristics, heuristic and evolutionary based optimization approaches have became effective tools to solve the CHPDED problem. This paper proposes hybrid differential evolution (DE) and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) to solve the CHPDED problem with nonsmooth and nonconvex cost function due to valve point effects. DE is used as a global optimizer and SQP is used as a fine tuning to determine the optimal solution at the final. The proposed hybrid DE-SQP method has been tested and compared to demonstrate its effectiveness.

Combined heat and power dynamic economic emission dispatch (CHPDEED) problem is a complicated nonlinear constrained multiobjective optimization problem with nonconvex characteristics. CHPDEED determines the optimal heat and power schedule of committed generating units by minimizing both fuel cost and emission simultaneously under ramp rate constraints and other constraints. This paper proposes hybrid differential evolution (DE) and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) to solve the CHPDEED problem with nonsmooth and nonconvex cost function due to valve point effects. DE is used as a global optimizer, and SQP is used as a fine tuning to determine the optimal solution at the final. The proposed hybrid DE-SQP method has been tested and compared to demonstrate its effectiveness.

Background: As more and more renewable energy such as wind energy is connected to the power grid, the static economic dispatch in the past cannot meet its needs, so the dynamic economic dispatch of the power grid is imperative. Methods: Hence, in this paper, we proposed an Improved Differential Evolution algorithm (IDE) based on Differential Evolution algorithm (DE) and Artificial Bee Colony algorithm (ABC). Firstly, establish the dynamic economic dispatch model of wind integrated power system, in which we consider the power balance constraints as well as the generation limits of thermal units and wind farm. The minimum power generation costs are taken as the objectives of the model and the wind speed is considered to obey the Weibull distribution. After sampling from the probability distribution, the wind speed sample is converted into wind power. Secondly, we proposed the IDE algorithm which adds the local search and global search thoughts of ABC algorithm. The algorithm provides more local search opportunities for individuals with better evolution performance according to the thought of artificial bee colony algorithm to reduce the population size and improve the search performance. Results: Finally, simulations are performed by the IEEE-30 bus example containing 6 generations. By comparing the IDE with the other optimization model like ABC, DE, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), the experimental results show that obtained optimal objective function value and power loss are smaller than the other algorithms while the time-consuming difference is minor. The validity of the proposed method and model is also demonstrated. Conclusion: The validity of the proposed method and the proposed dispatch model is also demonstrated. The paper also provides a reference for economic dispatch integrated with wind power at the same time.

Differential evolution (DE) has been extensively used in optimization studies since its development in 1995 because of its reputation as an effective global optimizer. DE is a population-based metaheuristic technique that develops numerical vectors to solve optimization problems. DE strategies have a significant impact on DE performance and play a vital role in achieving stochastic global optimization. However, DE is highly dependent on the control parameters involved. In practice, the fine-tuning of these parameters is not always easy. Here, we discuss the improvements and developments that have been made to DE algorithms. In particular, we present a state-of-the-art survey of the literature on DE and its recent advances, such as the development of adaptive, self-adaptive and hybrid techniques.

Currently the needs of electric power increased rapidly along with the development of technology. The increase in power requirements is contrary to the availability of sources of energy depletion of oil and coal. This problem affects the national electrical resistance. To meet the needs of large electric power with wide area coverage is required small scale distributed power generation. This distributed generation (DG) of renewable energy sources sought to minimize the use of energy resources such as oil and coal and connected to the micro grid and use the battery as a power balance. Because of there are many DGs and the use of batteries, therefore it is important to determine the optimal power generation of each plant as well as the use of battery based on the optimal capacity so that requirement of electric power can be met with minimal cost each time. This optimization is known as Dynamic Economic Dispatch. In this study, the methods of Quadratic Programming is required to solve the optimization problem.
