Background: As more and more renewable energy such as wind energy is connected to the power grid, the static economic dispatch in the past cannot meet its needs, so the dynamic economic dispatch of the power grid is imperative. Methods: Hence, in this paper, we proposed an Improved Differential Evolution algorithm (IDE) based on Differential Evolution algorithm (DE) and Artificial Bee Colony algorithm (ABC). Firstly, establish the dynamic economic dispatch model of wind integrated power system, in which we consider the power balance constraints as well as the generation limits of thermal units and wind farm. The minimum power generation costs are taken as the objectives of the model and the wind speed is considered to obey the Weibull distribution. After sampling from the probability distribution, the wind speed sample is converted into wind power. Secondly, we proposed the IDE algorithm which adds the local search and global search thoughts of ABC algorithm. The algorithm provides more local search opportunities for individuals with better evolution performance according to the thought of artificial bee colony algorithm to reduce the population size and improve the search performance. Results: Finally, simulations are performed by the IEEE-30 bus example containing 6 generations. By comparing the IDE with the other optimization model like ABC, DE, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), the experimental results show that obtained optimal objective function value and power loss are smaller than the other algorithms while the time-consuming difference is minor. The validity of the proposed method and model is also demonstrated. Conclusion: The validity of the proposed method and the proposed dispatch model is also demonstrated. The paper also provides a reference for economic dispatch integrated with wind power at the same time.

Flight Deck

Efficient scheduling for the supporting operations of aircrafts in flight deck is critical to the aircraft carrier, and even several seconds’ improvement may lead to totally converse outcome of a battle. In the paper, we ameliorate the supporting operations of carrier-based aircrafts and investigate three simultaneous operation relationships during the supporting process, including precedence constraints, parallel operations, and sequence flexibility. Furthermore, multifunctional aircrafts have to take off synergistically and participate in a combat cooperatively. However, their takeoff order must be restrictively prioritized during the scheduling period accorded by certain operational regulations. To efficiently prioritize the takeoff order while minimizing the total time budget on the whole takeoff duration, we propose a novel mixed integer liner programming formulation (MILP) for the flight deck scheduling problem. Motivated by the hardness of MILP, we design an improved differential evolution algorithm combined with typical local search strategies to improve computational efficiency. We numerically compare the performance of our algorithm with the classical genetic algorithm and normal differential evolution algorithm and the results show that our algorithm obtains better scheduling schemes that can meet both the operational relations and the takeoff priority requirements.
