Day-Night Weather Based Economic Power Dispatch

Electrical energy is key to worldwide economic success. However, the methods of producing it are not strictly environmentally friendly. This paper proposes a day-night weather based approach to minimize the total generation cost subject to environmental constraints without forming any weather model. The well-established renewable energy source, namely, wind energy and the large-scale energy storage systems are introduced to meet the hourly emission targets. The proposed day-night weather based approach has been applied to several sample systems, and the results indicated its suitability for real-time implementations. A comprehensive discussion of the application of the proposed method is provided here with the help of a 69-bus, 11-generator system.
