Non-convex Economic Dispatch with Heuristic Load Patterns using Harmony Search Algorithm

This paper presents an attempt to explore the applicability of harmony search algorithm (HSA) to solve extremely challenging non-convex economic load dispatch (ELD) problem with transmission losses involving variations of consumer load patterns. The efficiency of the proposed approach HSA has been tested successfully on the standard 6-bus system, IEEE-14 bus system, and the IEEE-30 bus system w...

Non-convex Economic Load Dispatch using Cuckoo Search Algorithm

This paper presents cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) for solving non-convex economic load dispatch (ELD) problems of fossil fuel fired generators considering transmission losses and valve point loading effect. CSA is a new meta-heuristic optimisation technique inspired from the obligate brood parasitism of some cuckoo species by laying their eggs in the nests of other host birds of other species. ...

Economic Load Dispatch Using Improved Harmony Search

This paper presents the use of the improved harmony search method for solving economic load dispatch problems. The harmony search method mimics a jazz improvisation process by musicians in order to seek a fantastic state of harmony. To assess the searching performance of the proposed method, a six-unit thermal generating system acquired from the standard IEEE 30-bus test system was challenged. ...
