Abstract
In this study, a comparison of two artificial intelligence inspired solution methods employed to solve Security Constrained Economic Dispatch (SCED) of Ethiopian Renewable Energy Systems (ERES) is presented. The solution methods are Efficient & Parallel Genetic Algorithm (EPGA) and Hopfield Neural Network (HNN). This paper argues that employing intelligent SCED that considers power mismatch and intermittency of renewables can solve ERES’s recursive blackouts. A simulation was conducted on MATLAB. According to the results, both solution methods provide the best solutions for their respective purposes. For providing accurate forecast & predictive control of intermittent generation, it is imperative to employ HNN. When obtaining global maxima of multi-objective function is required, it is recommended to employ EPGA. Generally, employing intelligent SCED is a key planning step in adopting smarter grids as it reduces the production cost and the number of blackouts while increasing the security level of ERES.
