This paper proposes an efficient method of On-Line Economic Load Dispatch(ELD) using Evolutionary Programming(EP) technique at KwangYang steel works. The economic operation of steel works is done by experienced engineer. So far, there is no formulation and algorithm of economic operation of steel works. In this paper, we propose the formulation and On-Line algorithm of economic operation of steel works. The EP technique is the kind of Evolutionary Computation(EC), which has become a candidate for many optimization applications due to its flexibility and efficiency. Based on the EP technique, the proposed algorithm is capable of not only solving the economic problem, but also obtaining the global optimal solutions within reasonable execution time. To validate our proposed approach, the algorithm is demonstrated on many sample systems and compared to actual values of steel works.

This paper presents an improved method of calculating the penalty factors for economic load dispatch based on B-coefficient and AC load flow and their performance comparison. The algorithm for calculating B-coefficients by Meyer is improved and its performance is compared with that of AC load flow. The B-coefficient method is superior to the load flow method in its simplicity and computation speed. However accuracy of the B-coefficient method is not satisfactory when it is applied to the ill-conditioned systems where generators produce excessive reactive power.

This paper is concerned with an application of Parallel Genetic Algorithms(PGA) to optimal econmic load dispatch(ELD) in power systems. The ELD problem is to minimize the total generation fuel cost of power outputs for all generating units while satisfying load balancing constraints. Genetic Algorithms(GA) is a good candidate for effective parallelization because of their inherent principle of evolving in parallel a population of individuals. Each individual of a population evaluates the fitness function without data exchanges between individuals. In application of the parallel processing to GA, it is possible to use Single Instruction stream, Multiple Data stream(SIMD), a kind of parallel system. The architecture of SIMD system need not data communications between processors assigned. The proposed ELD problem with C code is implemented by SIMSCRIPT language for parallel processing which is a powerfrul, free-from and versatile computer simulation programming language. The proposed algorithms has been tested for 38 units system and has been compared with Sequential Quadratic programming(SQP).

A new probabilistic production costing simulation model has been developed based on the effective load and economic load dispatch. The best model must be able to simulate the real world exactly and the computing efficiencies are also reasonable. This proposed model is a new concept for the probabilistic production costing simulation model. This model is compared with the available existing ones through two sample systems, and the excellent results are shown.

This paper presents a new economic load dispatch considering atmospheric emissions such as NOx and SO$_2$caused by the operation of fossil-fueled thermal generation in power systems. The proposed method is described for scheduling their output of thermal power units so as to comply with total emission constraint, area emission constraint and the both of those constraints. Also, by using a trade-off curve, representing all dispatch alternatives and conflict between the emission and the fuel cost, the sensitivity analysis of the emission and the fuel cost is applied to this algorithm. By the way, this proposed method is analyzed how dispatch changes as a function of the total environmental cost, and as a function of the relative weighting of individual environmental insults, e.g, NOx and SO$_2$. By applying the proposed method to the system, the usefulness of this method is verified.

This paper presents a method of minimizing of generation cost on individual electrical power utility. The method is based on the Economic Dispatch (ED) and linear Available Transfer Capability (ATC). The economic dispatch redistributes the total load to individual units to minimize the generation cost without transmission network constraints. The proposed method is implemented using ATC calculated from Power Transfer Distribution Factor (PTDF) for the transmission network constraints. The performance of the proposed method has been tested for the IEEE-30 bus system. It has also been observed that the results of the proposed method is compared with that of optimal power flow.

According to increase in electric power demand, the increasing rate of peak load compared with that of base load grows larger every year. Thus this paper deals with the optimal dynamic dispatch problem due to power rate limits and spinning reserve with loss or without loss. The first is adjusting module for gradual change of generator power by Object-Oriented Programming. The latter is an efficient dispatch module for the consideration of reasonable spinning reserve requirements. The proposed algorithm has been shown efficiency in real power system with loss.

This paper presents the research on the application of the Hopfield Neural Network to the Economic Load Dispatch problem. The ELD problem has convex cost functions as the objective functions, power balance equation and real power lower/upper limits as the constraints. So we have shown that the possibility of the application of the Hopfield Neural Network to the ELD problem. Through the case study, the simulation results are very close to the numerical method and the dynamic programming method.
