Soft Computing-Based Optimal Operation in Power Energy System

  • Chapter
Soft Computing in Industrial Electronics

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 101))

Abstract

Fossil fuels, chiefly coal, oil and natural gas, currently account for more than 60% of the primary energy used for electricity generation worldwide. This share will continue to increase steadily along with the growing global electricity demand [48]. There is therefore great demand for optimal operation of power energy systems aimed at reducing fossil fuel consumption. Such optimal operation could not only save fuel cost but also reduce CO2 emission, which is considered the main contributor to global warming.
