Cuckoo Search Algorithm Application for Economic Dispatch with Wind Farm in Power Systems

Abstract

Dung Anh Le and Dieu Ngoc Vo

This paper introduces a new method to solve economic dispatch problem in power system operation with wind farm (WF) connecting. The method is cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) which can to solve effective ED problem. The subject of this paper is optimal solutions about total power output each generator and WF with minimum operation cost in power system. The research study CSA and develop this method which become new method more efficient than former methods. CSA apply to solve ED problem with WF which give the best results and programming time. For ED problem simulator, program applies 30 buses IEEE system and Matpower 4.1 Toolbox to run power system with WF connecting. The results of this method also are compared to other previous methods and assess its results.
