Econo- Environmental Dispatch Solutions for Power Systems Integrated with Renewable Energy Resources

Due to the global initiatives for sustainable energy supply, the electric grids are increasingly integrated with environment-friendly and renewable energy resources. Hence, the power dispatch strategies are to be timely modified by incorporating the environmental aspects of generation along with the economic considerations. In this paper, we propose such an Econo- Environmental dispatch (EED) system for a power grids, which are integrated with renewable energy sources. The EED problem is formulated with two objective functions which aims at minimizing the unit cost of generation as well as minimizing the emissions caused during the power production. For attaining these objectives, cost and …
