This paper presents a new resolution approach of Economic Dispatch (ED) problem considering wind power penetration planning with specified wind farm locations. Firstly, the total fuel cost of conventional generating units is optimized with a wind power contribution. When the optimal wind power penetration for each wind farm location is specified, a planning process is performed to get the total number and the total cost of wind generators. Three levels of the total wind power penetration are examined, which are 25%, 30% and 35%. The Wind Power Planning (WPP) is effected based on the practical weather report for each wind farm location. The ED problem is solved taking in the account the valve point effects of thermal generating units and using Time Varying Acceleration Coefficients (TVAC) based Particle Swarm Optimization method (PSO) due to its effectiveness overcoming the conventional PSO. The model is applied on the well known IEEE 30 bus test system.
