Abstract: The purpose of this research is to investigate the multi-area economic emission dispatch problem (MEEDP) in the presence of renewable energy resources (RES) to improve the energy sustainability and climatic benefits. MEEDP is a multi-objective problem in smart grids, with the purpose of minimizing the operating costs and emissions of thermal units. RES have made a substantial contribution to greenhouse gases emission control and environmental sustainability. The integration of RES into conventional grids, which is becoming increasingly prevalent, spread the research scope of MEEDP and needs to be re-examined. This work considers two renewable sources (wind and solar) along with thermal plants subjected to significant number of previously uncombined system level limitations such as power capacity limit, prohibited zones, transmission network losses, dynamic ramp limits, tie-line limits and multiple fueling options. The operating cost is computed as summation of predictive and stochastic components. The predictive part is calculated by utilization of cumulative distribution function for each wind and solar system. A swarm intelligence-based crow search optimization algorithm (CSOA) is modeled to handle the complex constrained MEEDP with adjusted predictive part of RES. Six benchmark test systems with multi-dimensional constraints have been chosen to validate the adaptability and efficacy of the presented approach. Regardless of the complexity of the problem, the proposed approach provides the best feasible solution with a finer convergence rate. Finally, the simulation results depict that the integration of the corresponding system constraints gives legitimacy to the system and delivers reliable output.
