Scenario-oriented hybrid particle swarm optimization algorithm for robust economic dispatch of power system with wind power

An economic dispatch problem for power system with wind power is discussed. Using discrete scenario to describe uncertain wind powers, a threshold is given to identify bad scenario set. The bad-scenario-set robust economic dispatch model is established to minimize the total penalties on bad scenarios. A specialized hybrid particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is developed through hybridizing simulated annealing (SA) operators. The SA operators are performed according to a scenario-oriented adaptive search rule in a neighborhood which is constructed based on the unit commitment constraints. Finally, an experiment is conducted. The computational results show that the developed algorithm outperforms the existing algorithms.
