Abstract :
This paper presents model for Economic Environmental Dispatching (EED) of Hybrid power system including
wind and photovoltaic energies. The model combines the stochastic data of the climate such as the wind speed
for wind energy, solar radiation and the temperature for photovoltaic energy. The penetration of wind and
photovoltaic powers into traditional network will cause some implications such as security concerns due to its
unpredictable nature. The production systems of renewable energy are generally coupled with the network with
energy storage devices and micro sources. In this paper, a bi-objective economic environmental dispatch
problem considering wind and photovoltaic penetration is formulated, which treats economic and environmental
impacts as conflicting objectives. It applied multiobjective optimization by approach SPEA to solve (EED)
problem.
Keywords: economic dispatch, renewable energies, storages battery, production cost, emission of polluting
gases, microturbine, evolutionary algorithms, SPEA.
1. Introduction
In the last years, the interest in the use of renewable energy sources for electric power generation has increased
considerably. Among the reasons for that interest, the need can be highlighted to search for alternatives to
substitute the use of fossil fuels due to its high cost and the necessity to reduce the emission of pollutant gases.
The economic environmental dispatch [1, 5, 6, 9] is a significant function in the modern energy system. It
consists in programming, correctly, the electric production in order to reduce the operational cost [11, 16, 20].
Recently, the wind power and photovoltaic power have attracted much attention as promising renewable energy
resources [2, 8, 12, 15].
The sources with renewable energies whose primary source is not easily foreseeable and very fluctuating cannot
ensure the dynamic stability of the network. Consequently, in order to carry out the compromise between the
risk of penetration of renewable energies and the total cost function, it is desirable to study how to distribute the
electric power in a suitable way in the network by holding account of the unforeseeable characteristics of these
sources.
The problem is formulated as a problem of multiobjective optimization [7, 10, 19] which consists in distributing
the active and renewable production between the power stations in the most economic way and to reduce the
emissions of polluting gases.
Figure1 presents an example of hybrid production architecture system of wind/photovoltaic coupled with the
classic network.

Where: PS' , Pw' , PSTOCK and PMT, are respectively the photovoltaic power station, the wind power station, the
power of the energy storage device and the power of the microturbine. PS is the photovoltaic power system and
Pw is the wind power system.
In this example of hybrid network, wind power station and photovoltaic power station are coupled with the
traditional network. Auxiliary elements are associated with each one of these renewable energy power stations.
We connect to each of the two renewable energy sources an energy storage device which is choosing a battery
and a microturbine. Where one of the renewable power stations provided a power superior to that required than
the excess of power will be stored in the batteries. In the contrary case, the batteries must provide the lack of
power and if the energy provided by the batteries is insufficient then the microtubine must ensure the remainder
of the power. We must control the load level of the storage device discharge as well as the evolution of the
power of the microturbine.
3. Economic Problem
Generally, the power cost consumed or produced F(t) by an element given at the moment t is define by the sum
of the investment cost F t energy cost F t and the use cost F t [14, 16]:
I E U
F( t ) FI t FE ( t ) FU t (1)
The parameter FI0 is defined as the part of the paid payment in the installation and FI1 represents the part of the
spread out payment in time; it is the annual cost on a number of damping year Nb with an annual interest rate TI.
Generally, this cost is according to the total cost of purchase and installation FT of an installation of maximum
capacity C max, we have:
F (CT max ) N
FI0 .TI .(1 TI ) b
FI1 N

(1 TI ) b 1
The parameter A(t) is defined by the equation (4) and it is represented by Figure 2:

If it is considered that during the operation years Nb the average fixed price related to wear is invariable in the
course of time, and then energy cost provided by a renewable source becomes:
FU ( N b ) 0 0 .P FU P (10)
F(P) FI FU P (11)
And thus,
F( P ) 0 0 .P (12)
Where,
FI 0 0 and 0 are two constant parameters.
This function regrouped thermal cost, wind, photovoltaic, micro tubines and battery storage cost.
Thermal cost
The fuel cost function FTH ( P g ) in $/h is represented by a quadratic function as follow [14, 20]:
Ng

FTH P g i b i Pgi c i Pgi2
(13)
i 1
The coefficients a i , b i and c i are appropriate to every production unit, Pgi is the real power output of i-th
generator and N g is the number of thermal generators.
Wind cost
The wind cost function FW ( Pw' ) of a wind power station can be represented as follows [11]:
Photovoltaic cost
The photovoltaic cost function FSV (PS' ) of photovoltaic power station can be defined by the following function
[20]:
Cost of microturbine
The function cost of a microturbine, can be represented by the following quadratic function [13]:
FE _ bat (t ) 0 (18)
The capital cost is given by the following expression [16]:
C t

It considers the annual maintenance cost null. With regard to the cost related to the wear of the battery, it recalls
which it is represented by the second part of the use cost function, according to [16], it takes:

After Nb=20 years of wear of the battery, the function Fbat Pbat becomes:
F1 P g , Pw' , PS' , PMT , Pbat FTH P g FW Pw' FSV PS' FMT PMT Fbat (Pbat ) (24)
The emission function in ton/h which represents SO2 and NOx emission is a function of the generator output and
is expressed as follow [9, 11]:
Ng
F2 ( P g ) i

i 1
Where αi, βi, γi, ξi and i are the coefficients of emission function corresponding to the i-th generator. These
three parameters are determined by adjustment techniques of curves based on real tests.
The generated real power of each generator at the bus i is restricted by lower limit Pgimax and upper limit Pgimin :
The sum of the active powers generated by the generators must cover the required total active power PD and the
active losses in the lines of transmission p. It has then:

The wind and thermal solar power should not exceed the 30% of total power demand:

6.1. Principle
The multi-objective optimization problem is formulated in general as follow:
Minimize f x f x , f x , ... , f
1 N obj x
2
Under : (30)
g j x 0 , j 1,..., M
h k x 0 , k 1,..., K
Where,
N obj : number of objectives functions.
M, K : number of equality and inequality respectively constraints.
x : decision vector.
Two solutions x1 and x2 of such optimization problem, we could have one which dominates the other or none
dominates the other.
In a minimization problem, a solution x1 dominates other solution x2 if the following two conditions are
satisfied:
i 1,2,..., N obj , f i x1 f i x 2
j 1,2,..., N obj , f j x1 f j x 2
(31)
Defined by X f the satisfiesability set, that is to say: X f x X / g ( x ) 0 et h ( x ) 0
Where
g ( x ) (g 1 ( x ), g 2 ( x ),..., g M ( x )) T
and h ( x ) (h 1 ( x ), h 2 ( x ),..., h K ( x )) T
A decision vector x X f is none dominated compared to a set A X f , if:
a A / a x (32)
The optimize solutions set that are non-dominated within the entire search space are denoted as Pareto-optimal
and the set of objectives vectors corresponding constitute the Pareto-optimal set or Pareto-optimal front.
Step 1: For each individual i Pt is assigned a real value S i 0 , 1 called strength. S i is proportional to the
number of individuals in the current population dominated by the individual i in the external Pareto set. It can be
calculated as follows:
For an individual j Pt
j / j Pt and individual j is dominated by i
Si (33)

Step 2: The fitness of an individual j Pt is the sum of the strengths of all external Pareto individuals i Pt
dominated by j Pt . We add one in odder to guarantee that Pareto solutions are most likely to be produced.

The clustering algorithm is described by the following steps:
C i .
iP t
(35)
Step 2: if the number of cluster is lower or equal to maximum size of external set ( N pop ), go to step 5. Else,
go to step 3.
Step 3: Calculate the distance between each pair of clusters. The distance dc between two clusters c1 and
c 2 C is defined as the average distance between two pairs of individuals from each cluster:
1
dc d i1i2 (36)
n1 n2 i1c1 , i2c2
Step 4: Find the pair of clusters corresponding to the minimal distance d c between them. Combine into a
large one C c1 c . and return to step 2.

Step 5: Find the centroid of each cluster. Select the nearest individual in this cluster to the centroid as a
representative individual and remove all other individuals from the cluster.
Step 6: Thus, the reduced Pareto set Pt 1 is computed by uniting these representatives: Pt 1 cC c .
In simulation, we study the case already presented in the formulation part of the problem.

The minimal and maximal values of the active powers of the thermal generating nodes in per unit are indicated
by the equation (37):
0.05 Pgi 1.5, i 1,..., N g (37)
The minimal and maximal value of the energy storage power system in per unit is given by the equation (38):
The maximum power of the microturbine is PMT 14 Mw [16]. In our study, we use 10 identical
microturbines.
Figure 4 and Figure 5 represents the evolution of mono objective optimization during generations of emissions
and total cost for total power demand PD= 2.8pu.
The analysis of two figures shows that by increasing the generations, emission and cost functions converge
towards their minimal values which are respectively 0.1864 ton/h and 487.5485 $/h.
The machines productions values in two cases of convergence are given in table 1.
For the study of the bi objectives optimization of functions cost/emission, we select the total power demand PD
varies between 0.8pu and 4pu. We presents in the following some results of the Bi objectives optimization of
the emissions of polluting gases and the total cost functions by taking account of the participations of the
batteries systems and microturbines for the two renewable energies systems.
The Figure 6 represents the Pareto optimal front for a bi objectives optimization of the total cost and emission
functions for the total power demand PD = 1.5244 pu.
From figure6, we present the limiting values for cost and emission as well as the powers to be generated relating
to the value of total power demand. The results are summarized by table 2.

By exploiting figures 7, we can note the participations of the renewable power stations as well as the storage
batteries and the microturbines in the wind and photovoltaic systems. It is also noticed that at minimal cost, if
the total power demand increases then the powers of the two systems of wind and photovoltaic energy
production increase by advantage.

8. CONCLUSION
This paper formulates the problem of the Dispatching Environmental Economic (DEE) of hybrid electrical
networks including wind power and photovoltaic power. The problem model is determined by posed objectives
functions which presented by total cost and emission of polluting gases function under constraints.
Mono-objective and bi-objective optimizations take account of the presence of the lead-acid batteries as devices
of energy storage and whole of microturbines. The resolution of the problem determines the distribution in
networks that comprise generating units that use renewable energy sources.
