Popis: Due to the rising requirement on energy sources and the global doubts for using fossil fuel because of its consequences on the climate changes and the global warming caused by hazardous gases, the scientific research has shifted to the renewable energy. To minimize the usage of thermal power generation plants and to meet the rising load demand, a thermal-integrated wind-hydro-system is taking an important role in renewable power systems. A proficient nature-inspired optimization is proposed for solving economic and emission dispatch for the hydro-thermal-wind (HTW) scheduling problem. Further, the opposition-based learning have been incorporated with the chemical reaction optimization for improving the performance of the algorithm. To investigate the performance of oppositional chemical reaction optimization algorithm, the algorithm is tested on two different cases. Along with this, some statistical tests have also been performed. The results obtained by the OCRO algorithm are compared with other recently proposed methods to establish its robustness.
