Electrical energy demand has risen over the world which results in development of smart grid. Smart grid has identified the areas that requires improvement. Because of the focus on cost-effective operation as well as environmental concerns in the electrical power system, the complexity of the optimization function has increased. In this study, a new energy-saving dispatch model is developed, which takes into account renewable energy sources in the smart grid as well as dynamic generation-load interaction. Moreover, the active demand response idea is employed for interruptible loads during peak demand. During off-peak load periods and compensating loads, the proposed energy-saving dispatch system operates on a bi-level dispatch system. Lower level dispatch works with four dispatch functions such as interruptible load cost, compensation load cost, renewable energy source cost, and emission saving cost. Whereas, upper level dispatch deals with cost functions for operation and emission. Renewable energy sources are represented as a generating unit as well as a load based on usage in this work. Linear programming relaxation and mixed integer linear programming relaxation methodologies are used to solve the constrained optimization problem. The outcomes of the experiments were compared with existing methodologies such as the classic NSGA-II and the improved NSGA-II. Furthermore, the algorithm’s time complexity was examined. The proposed solution has been implemented using the IEEE-30 bus standard. The performance results demonstrate considerable reductions in operating costs as well as reductions in emissions.

In the age of deregulation, the power plant business is undergoing a revolutionary transformation. Applying creative concepts for the benefit of society, because the electrical power business is so important to the development of society and economy [1–3]. The power industry, on the other hand, relies heavily on fossil fuels to generate electricity [4]. As a result, carbon emissions from these power facilities are a source of concern. Countries with dense populations, such as India and China, are now enacting measures to decrease carbon emissions. India’s government plans to reduce carbon emissions by 35% by 2030 [5]. Solar PV and wind based generation systems are being employed with improved inverters and control algorithms for reducing the carbon emission [6–9]. Carbon emissions are caused not only by power generation, but also by consumption patterns [10]. Big buildings contribute to carbon emissions from the consumer’s perspective [11, 12]. Combustion of fossil fuels for heating, cooling, and lighting, as well as powering appliances and electrical equipment, is a major source of pollutants.
A carbon emission-reduction dispatch, in conjunction with generator and consumer concerns, can successfully promote energy saving for the benefits of society. In the current climate of high energy consumption, smart grids are playing a more active role in the development of policies and regulations for the deployment of new technologies [13–18]. Demand response, reliability, renewable resources, electric storage, and electric transportation are all trends that the Department of Energy (DoE) has identified [19].
Many people from all around the world have contributed to a literature review on carbon emission reduction or energy-saving dispatch. It is a prospective trend to include flexible loads in energy saving dispatch models such as air conditioners, electric water heaters, electric vehicles, power system stabilizers, and so on [20–22]. In DoE, a screenshot of a transition to a smart grid was shown in a panoptic view grid-wise [23, 24] and modern grid strategy [25].
This paper presents a model with generation, carbon emission mathematical formulation with demand response with constraints on generation, emission limits and on-off time for equipment connected with the network. In order to ensure life span of equipment, user comfortableness several constrains taken in to consideration. Solution steps of the proposed model involve Linear Programming Relaxation (LPR) and Mixed Integer Linear Programming Relaxation (MILPR) methods. The proposed methodology has been illustrated with IEEE 30 standard bus data. Experimental results are compared with existing methods such as traditional NSGA-II and improved NSGA-II. Time complexity of methodologies has been analyzed. Experimental result shows significant improvement in result with reduced time complexity.
Paper is organized as follows: Section 2 is problem formulation and Section 3 presents solution procedure. In Section 4, time complexity analysis of presented algorithm presented. Section 5 is for performance evaluation with experimental results. Section 6 is conclusion of the work.
In this section, the formulation of carbon emission reduction dispatch problem has been done. The algorithm not only minimizes the cost of generation with emission reduction (generation and load side) but also ensures the user’s satisfaction with minimum break time that helps in ensuring large life span of equipment in power system network.

Constraint (18) states that consumer equipment must be on for at least incessant period before being turned off. Furthermore, interruption time of a load should not be too long in order to ensure user comfort, which is expressed as the maximum continuous load managed duration. Constraint (19) ensures that the initial continuous interruptible time does not exceed the maximum permissible period when assessing the initial cumulative control time of interruptible. Constraint (20) ensures that the total amount of interruptible time during the study period does not exceed the maximum permissible time.
The proposed solution for the above constrained optimization problem formulation utilizes linear programming relaxation (LPR) method. Subsequently, to compute the improved performance a mixed integer linear programming relaxation (MILPR) technique is also used herein. MILPR method results in improved performance when compared to LPR method. However, the time complexity for MILPR is more when compared to LPR method. MILPR problem is solved using MATLAB and general algebraic modelling system with CPLEX solver. A comparison between iterative complexities is illustrated in Table 3.
The objective of this paper is to ensure minimum cost of energy generation, carbon emission from generation and load side along with user’s satisfaction and break time to ensure life span of equipment. Since the carbon emission cut is primary concern in India, so maximum emission tolerance is used as break point criteria for proposed algorithm.

This optimization problem is a non-linear multi-objective problem. Multi-objective problems rarely have a single global solution [22]. In this case, effective Pareto optimum solutions are applied utilizing linear programming relaxation to meet various constraints. Heuristic optimization algorithms [23–26] can be used to find the Pareto optimal solution.
Figure 2 shows solution process through flow chart. Figure 2 shows that solution procedure will stop by either satisfying condition of Equation (21) or (22). Equation (21) is emphasizing on net carbon emission limit and Equation (22) sets solution based on number of iteration. Equation (22) is taken in to account of condition that if solution is not converging to expected limit of carbon emission.
The proposed method utilizes linear programming relaxation method to minimize constrained objective function. The proposed method involves complex mathematical formulation to reach to coveted dispatch with carbon emission reduction as per prescribed limit with load side management. This paper compares complexity in terms of number of iterations used with traditional NSGA-II, improved NSGA-II, LPR and MILPR.
The IEEE-30 bus system network is used to illustrate the usefulness of proposed environment friendly energy-saving dispatch model. Table 1 and Figure 3 shows the cost of operation and parameters of emission function. Table 2 shows cost of operation and parameters of emission function for flexible loads. Rs 12/kg price of carbon emission (approximated) is used based on standard charge in India. is set as 18000 kg. Table 5 evidently demonstrates that the LPR can create a better optimal solution with best computational performance and the least number of iterations using a multi-objective decision making method based on maximum deviations.

This paper presents an algorithm for optimization of operational cost, carbon emission with the consideration of equipment break time to ensure the life span and user satisfaction. This optimization problem considers the constraints pertaining to the system. Combining various function for desired outcome along with constraints forms a non-linear optimization problem. Solution of non-linear optimization problem is difficult because solving non-linear optimization problem is still not a mature technology. In this paper, to solve this problem linear programing relaxation and mixed integer linear programing relaxation used. Presented algorithm implemented on IEEE-30 bus system with cost parameters and emission parameters. Flow chart in Figure 1 shows solution procedure. Solution procedure involves carbon emission limits as parameter to identify the desired result. Table 3 shows iteration complexity comparison with existing methods. Results of various objective function shown in Table 4, which mainly show emission and total cost of operation. Results in Table 5 shows data with various possible change in emission limits. The emission limits changes by 5% and 10% for next two cases.
In this paper, an algorithm is proposed for optimizing cost generation function with carbon emission reduction with consideration of load side management with constraint applicable to the system operation. This optimization problem is solved using linear programming relaxation (LPR) and mixed integer linear programming relaxation (MILPR). The presented algorithm produces significant results with less iteration complexity. Various objective function such as operation cost, carbon emission, and load emission have been evaluated. The presented algorithm also tested with maximum possible emission limit. Linear programming relaxation and mixed integer linear programing methods employed to solve the non-linear optimization problem in this paper. Result shows significant improvement over the existing method in term of number of iterations.
In future, this problem may apply non-linear optimization with consideration of renewable penetration into power system network. Further uncertainties parameters may be involved as constraint into system resources.
