An Adaptive Chaos Quantum-Behaved Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Real-Time Dispatch in Power System with Wind Generation
A real-time dispatch (RTD) model for wind power incorporated power system aimed at maximizing wind power utilization and minimizing fuel cost is proposed in this paper. To cope with the prematurity and local convergence of conventional particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, a novel adaptive chaos quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (ACQPSO) algorithm is put forward. The adaptive inertia weight and chaotic perturbation mechanism are employed to improve the particle’s search efficiency. Numerical simulation on a 10 unit system with a wind farm demonstrates that the proposed model can maximize wind power utilization while ensuring the safe and economic operation of the power system. The proposed ACQPSO algorithm is of good convergence quality and the computation speed can meet the requirement of RTD.
