Analysis of scheduling of solar sharing for economic/environmental dispatch using PSO

This paper deals with analysis of scheduling of solar sharing for economic/environmental dispatch using particle swarm optimization. This multi-objective consider the minimization of fuel cost and emissions of thermal generating units with scheduling for sharing of different photovoltaic generating units to fulfill the load demand in such a way to minimize the total generating cost and satisfying equality and inequality constraints using particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique. Now a days it is challenge to achieve reliable and inexpensive electricity in mature energy market. Exhaustion of fossil fuels reserves and rapid intensification of fuel price and increasing emission having environmental concerns have compelled to assimilate the renewable energy sources in the energy market. In this paper, the test is carried out for 13 PV plants and 6 thermal units for different load and solar constraints. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used for optimization of the problem and simulation results have been computed in FORTRAN 90.
