The electrical power generation from fossil fuel releases several contaminants into the air and this become excrescent if the generating unit is fed by Multiple Fuel Sources (MFS).The ever more stringent environmental regulations have forced the power producers to produce electricity not only at...

The economic dispatch (ED) is one of the important optimization problems in power system generation for fuel cost saving. This paper proposes a hybrid variant of mean-variance mapping optimization (MVMO-SH) for solving such problem considering the non-convex objective functions. The new proposed...

Purpose – The combined heat and power dispatch (CHPD) aims to optimize the outputs of online units in a power plant consisting thermal generators, co-generators and heat-only units. Identifying the operating point of a co-generator within its feasible operating region (FOR) is difficult. This...
