An emission constraint Economic Load Dispatch problem solution with Microgrid using JAYA algorithm

In this Work, the Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are used in a specific small area which is known a microgrid. Microgrid consists of microsources like distribution generator, solar and wind units, etc., and different loads. In the microgrid, the energy management system (EMS) having a problem of Combined Economic Emission Dispatch (CEED) and it is optimized by meta-heuristic techniques. The CEED is the procedure to scheduling the generating units within their bounds together with minimizing the fuel cost and emission values. The JAYA Algorithm is applied for the solution of CEED problem in the MATLAB environment. The minimization of total cost and total emission are obtained for all sources included. The result shows the comparison of JAYA Algorithm with the Gradient Method (GM), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO) technique for the two different cases which are Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) without emission and with emission. The results are calculated for different power demand of 24 hours. The results obtained with JAYA Algorithm gives comparative better cost reduction as compared to GM, ACO and PSO which shows the effectiveness of the given algorithm. The key objective of this work is to solve the CEED problem to obtained optimal system cost.
