Comparison between Deterministic methods and the Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm, for the Economic Load Dispatch, turning off the Generators of Higher Cost
-
Descrição
-
Abstract - The reduction of fuel costs in the production of
electric power in Power Plants (PP) is one of the most significant
problems in this industry. This problem is known as
Optimization of the Economic Load Dispatch (ELD). The
objective of this paper is to analyze the application of the
Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ABC) metaheuristics,
considering the incremental cost of fuel and the shutdown of the
engines with the highest fuel cost per MWh in UTEs whose
installed capacity exceeds the required power demand. Several
techniques have been developed to solve the problem of ELD,
among them: lambda iteration method, gradient method,
Newton method and so on. The results for this study with the
application of ABC, considering the shutdown of the generators
of higher cost per MWh, obtaining a mean reduction of 6.54%
in the total fuel cost, compared to the classic solutions that use
all engines of the UTE. In addition to cost reduction, this
proposal helps the specialist responsible for the management of
the UTE in the decision making of the preventive maintenance
of the engines that are not being used at the moment of the
optimization, improving not only the generation efficiency, but
also the generation planning of the plant.
