Reducing fuel cost and enhancing the resource utilization rate in energy economic load dispatch problem

This study contributes for solving the economic load dispatch (ELD) problem to reduce energy waste caused by thermal generation units and promotes cleaner sustainable production in power industry. Electricity is produced plants; however, involves low benefits high pollution levels, which hinders An improved manta ray foraging optimization (IMRFO) algorithm developed ELD realizing goal of units. The characteristics novel method present that: (1) Sine cosine adaptations were introduced enhance its adaptive ability; (2) a nonlinear convergence factor was presented speed; (3) differential evolution original robustness. Three typical test systems selected prove feasibility IMRFO-based solution method. results indicated that IMRFO obtained most competitive scheduling strategy compared with existing methods. Improving economy system operation beneficial realize production.
