1. Introduction
• Renewable energy sources found in nature that are
self regenerating:
• These sources are normally used to produce clean
(or green) energy. This production does not lead to
climate change and does not involve emission of
pollutants.
• A related term is sustainable energy: this concept
refers to generating energy with an awareness of the
future, i.e. in a way that would enable future
generations to meet their energy needs too.
2. • Micro grids: Micro grids are small scale
low voltage electrical distribution
networks composed of distributed energy
resources (DERs), such as distributed
generation systems (DGs), energy storage
systems (ESS), controllable and non-
controllable loads.
3. • Components of Microgrid
– Distributed Generation
– Loads
– Energy storage systems
– Static disconnect switch
– Controller
– Mode switching device
– Point of Common Coupling
4. • Need of Microgrid
– Microgrid could be the answer to our energy crisis.
– Transmission losses gets highly reduced.
– Microgrid results in substantial savings and cuts
emissions without major changes to lifestyles.
– Provide high quality and reliable energy supply to
critical loads.
5. Economic Load Dispatch

7. Spinning reserve requirement constraints: The
spinning reserve requirement is reflected as a
decrease in the maximum limit and an
increase in the minimum limit of the first DG

8. • ELD problem in microgrid addresses various
issues like single and multi objective
optimization problems, various system
constraints, highly constrained and non-linear
problem, fluctuating and variable nature of
RES like PV and wind, demand response of
consumers, combined heat and power dispatch
(CHP) with losses and economic emission
dispatch (EED).
9. • Comparative and critical analysis for economic
dispatch research is concluded.
• The various Economic Load Dispatch problems
are
1. Economic load dispatch with valve point
loading (EDVP) effects
2. Multi-area economic load dispatch (MAED)
3. Combined economic-emission dispatch (CEED)
4. Security constrained economic load dispatch
(SCELD)
10. Static and Dynamic ELD
• Static economic dispatch gives the economic
dispatch solutions for a static or fixed load
conditions.
• For Economic dispatch problem it is assumed
that the load is fixed for 24 hrs.
• In dynamic economic load dispatch problem a
varying load for 24 hrs of the day is
considered.
11. • The dynamic economic dispatch problems differ
from the static economic dispatch problem by
incorporating ramp rate constraints of generators.
• The static scheduling model is only suitable for
some simple structured MGS.
• With the increase in the number of microsources
and diverse types of load within the MG, the
static economic dispatch model is no longer
applicable to the rapid developed MG system
Static and Dynamic ELD
12. • Researchers have made improvements and
innovations on the basis of static economic
scheduling.
• As a special load, the electric vehicle (EV) has
both the characteristics of the load and the
power source, EV is used as a simple energy
storage unit to participate in the coordinated
control between micro sources in the MG.

14. Optimization based ELD
• The cost benefit of any MG may not be completely
justified, without optimization techniques.
• Optimization aims at identifying the best alternative from
a set of specified solutions that are the most cost-effective.
• Many approaches are available for addressing optimization
problems like classical optimization techniques,
evolutionary or bio inspired algorithms and ANN etc.
• The various class of optimization techniques used for ELD
are given as below in tabular form.

16. Security Constrained ELD
• The increasing penetration level of renewable
energy sources (RESs) such as wind and solar
energy, have enhanced uncertainties so the
traditional deterministic decision making in the
electric power industry is gradually shifting
towards stochastic decision.
• The intermittent and non-dispatchable
renewable like wind and solar exhibits sub-
hourly fluctuations.
17. • This motivates the need for optimization at
multiple timescales. RESs are highly site-
specific, stochastic in nature and are fairly
evenly distributed around the world with little
or no costs.
• They are greatly dependent on the climatic
conditions, geographical factors and seasons
of the site under consideration.
