Fitness Distance Balance Based Tasmanian Devil Optimization Algorithm for Solving Economic Dispatch Problem with Integrated Wind Power

Fossil fuel-based energy sources are used for power generation in power systems and these energy sources have negative impacts on the ecological system.Progress is being made to protect the ecological balance with the increasing use of renewable energy.Therefore, in the study conducted, an Economic Dispatch approach is presented for integrated wind energy, one of the renewable energy resources.Weibull Probability Density Function (PDF) is used to estimate the wind energy since it is not continuous and regular.In the study, the Fitness Distance Balance Based Tasmanian Devil Optimization Algorithm (FDBTDO) was used to solve this problem.This system was evaluated as a power system comprising of conventional thermal generators and one of the most important renewable energy resources, which are wind power generators.The simulation results produced by FDBTDO were compared with the simulation results produced by TDO.As a result of the study, it was observed that the results produced by FDBTDO were better than the results produced by TDO.
