Investigation on Economic and Environ-mental Constrained Micro-grid dispatch Problem Using Efficient Optimization Technique

Abstract

The Generators which produce electric power, also produces toxic gases like Carbon monoxide, Sulphur dioxide, Nitrous oxide etc. The emission of toxic gases and pollutants causes environmental pollution. Thermal power plants release Nitrogen oxides which cause damage to environment and is responsible for acid rains. So, it is necessary to reduce emission along with the cost of generation. So, that the renewable energy sources can be utilized, along with them it is also duty of the engineers to develop an optimal solution to diminish the emanation of noxious gases with minimum cost of generation. In this paper, problems like Economic dispatch, Emission Dispatch, Combined Economic and Emission Dispatch are solved using Conventional method and by using Optimization techniques. A comparative analysis is done on 3-unit system without any renewable energy sources and by including renewable energy resources like solar and wind energies to find out the unsurpassed solution. With the involvement of renewable energy sources, the cost of generation and the emission of pollutants are diminished. The emitted pollutants, and cost of generation has been evaluating using proposed methodology to get the better solution.
