Wind power impact in the environmental/economic dispatch

In this paper, we investigate the effect of the wind energy in electrical power system on economic dispatch. An economic dispatch problem considering wind power injection is formulated and solved by Simulated Annealing (SA). To show the advantages of the proposed algorithm, it has been applied for solving economic load dispatch problem in a 3-generator system with transmission losses and gas emission. This technique is compared with other techniques which reveals the superiority of the proposed approach and confirms its potential for solving other power systems problems, and its capacity to solve the environmental/economic power dispatch problem with the renewable energy.
