An Solution for Unit Commitment Problem of Wind and PV based Smart Grid using BAT Algorithm

Abstract

With the technological advancement, renewable energy sources are becoming more integrated to grid. With the smart grid technologies, the renewable energy sources will penetrate more into the grid. With increase of penetration of these renewable sources, will affect the unit commitment process. This paper concentrate the inducing Hybrid renewable energy sources in the smart grid. Unit commitment problem of Hybrid renewable energy sources into a smart grid is discussed in this paper . The IEEE reliable 24 bus system is considered to test the proposed unit commitment problem using bat algorithm. The paper shows the reduction of production cost when the penetration of wind power into the power system.
