Integration of wind into thermal system and its impact on the DEDP are explored here.
WPNN is proposed to forecast a one-hour ahead wind power for reliable power supply.
BBO algorithm is integrated with SQP to obtain the better solution for DEDP.
DEDP considering valve-point effects and multiple-fuel options has been solved.
The proposed WPNN–BBO method is applied for a test bench DEDP and a practical DEDP.
