CHOICE OF WIND TURBINE LOCATION ACCORDING TO ITS INFLUENCE ON THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE ECONOMIC DISPATCH PROBLEM USING GENETIC ALGORITHM METHOD

Abstract

The wind turbine location is fundamental to its performance, but there are other factors that should be taken into account when deciding the best position for a wind turbine. This paper gives the best wind turbine location according to its influence on the optimization of the economic dispatch problem; a genetic algorithm (GA) program is developed to solve this problem and the results are verified by interior point (IP) method then a moneys profits comparison between obtained results in different buses is done and a new condition is proposed to choose the wind turbine location.
