Uma nova solução para a otimização do despacho econômico e ambiental utilizando metaheurísticas da computação bio-inspirada. 2016. Tese (Doutorado em Engenharia Elétrica) – Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Elétrica, Instituto de Tecnologia, Universidade Federal do Pará, Belém, 2016.https://rigalileo.itegam.org.br/handle/123456789/1173Due to the significant industrial growth in Northern Brazil, especially at the Industrial Pole of Manaus (PIM), there has been an increased need for energy generation, which in this region is provided by thermoelectric plants (UTEs) in over 90% of its total. Thus, it became necessary to use computational tools that help specialists and operators make decisions about the optimal power dispatch, contemplating not only cost reduction but also reducing atmospheric pollution levels. This thesis presents a new solution proposal for the classic optimization problem of Economic Dispatch (ED) and Economic and Environmental Dispatch (EAD), using several Deterministic methods (Iteration Lambda, Quadratic Programming, Newton method) and Bio-Inspired Heuristic methods (Genetic Algorithms, Particle Swarm Optimization, Differential Evolution, Simulated Annealing, Grey Wolf Optimizer, and Artificial Bee Colony), as well as the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II and NSGA-III) for the EAD. The proposal includes shutting down generators with higher operating costs to reduce fuel costs and pollutant emissions like NOx and CO₂. The robustness of the methodology was validated with a set of ten generating units and three benchmark systems described in the literature, showing significant advantages of the new proposed solution.pdf.OtimizaçãoDespacho EconômicoDespacho Econômico e AmbientalMetaheurísticasComputação Bio-inspiradaTese de doutoradoEngenharia Elétrica
