Abstract

In this paper, Clustered Firefly algorithm (CFFA) for the optimal dispatch of wind thermal power system (WTPS) has been presented. CFFA is used to solve the proposed economic dispatch problem for both conventional power system, and wind-thermal power system. The main objective is to minimization of Total cost includes the cost of energy provided by thermal generating units, wind turbine generators (WTG), and the cost of reserves provided by conventional thermal generators. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by IEEE Six unit system and Forty unit system and the results are compared with existing methods available in the literatures.
