Abstract	-This paper presents an evolutionary programming based approach to evaluate the impact of integrating wind and fuel cell power plants (FCPP) in a combined heat and power (CHP) system on the performance and operational cost. The fluctuating nature of wind energy (WE) has a different effect on the system operational cost and constraints. Besides, FCPPs are capable of producing both electrical and thermal energy. By combining WE and FCPP in a hybrid structure for CHP system yields lower operational cost than that of individual units. An integrated cost model for FCPP and WE is constructed, which includes production cost of energy, thermal recovery from the FCPP, electrical power from WE, power trade with the local grid and maintenance cost. An hourly electrical and thermal load profile for a residential micro-grid community is employed along with the wind speed variation to determine the best cost effective strategy. The operation of the FCPP system is scheduled according to available wind power, and electrical and thermal load demand to optimize operational cost. An evolutionary programming (EP)-based technique is used to find a near-optimal solution of the problem. The method incorporates the Hill-Climbing technique (HCT) to maintain feasibility during the solution process. Results are encouraging and indicate viability of the proposed technique.
