Abstract: To maintain security and reliability of wind integrated power grid, additional spinning reserve is required to meet the demand under changing loads and unpredictable wind power generation. This paper presents a solution of dynamic multi objective optimal dispatch (DMOOD) for wind-thermal system using a hybrid flower pollination algorithm (HFPA). Simultaneous minimization of cost, emission and losses is carried out with complex constraints like valve point loadings, ramp limits, prohibited zones and spinning reserve. The cost of wind power uncertainty is also included in the cost function by using a probability density function model. The proposed HFPA improves the exploration and exploitation potential of the flower population which is conducting the search. In the HFPA the flower pollination algorithm (FPA) and differential evolution (DE) algorithm are integrated to preserve good solutions and to stop premature convergence. A 5-class, 3-step time varying fuzzy selection mechanism (TVFSM) is integrated with HFPA for solving multi-objective problems. The TVFSM finds a fuzzy selection index (FSI) by aggregating different conflicting objectives. The FSI is adopted as the merit criterion while updating the population. Guassian membership function is applied to compute FSI in such a manner that extreme solutions are filtered out and trade off solutions on the central portion of the Pareto-front are obtained. The HFPA-TVFSM approach effectively searches the best compromise solution (BCS) which satisfies all the three objectives maximally. The proposed approach is tested and validated on two wind-thermal test systems from literature.
