The economic load dispatch (ELD) is one of the most important optimization problems from the view point of power system to derive optimal economy. Classically, it is to Identify the optimal combination of generation level of all generating units which minimizes the total fuel cost while satisfying the load. This classical ELD formulation has been solved by various methods like Lagrange method, ...

This paper proposes a simple enhanced augmented Hopfield Lagrange neural network (EALH) for solving economic dispatch (ED) problem with piecewise quadratic cost functions. The EALH is an augmented Lagrange Hopfield neural network (ALH), which is a combination of continuous Hopfield neural network and augmented Lagrangian relaxation function as its energy function, enhanced by a heuristic search...

The dayahead short term load forecasting (STLF) is a necessary daily task for power dispatch. Short term load forecasting is essential for unit commitment, economic allocation of generation, maintenance schedules. This paper presents a solution methodology using fuzzy logic for short term load forecasting. Fuzzy logic approach is implemented on weather sensitive data and historical load data fo...

In Dynamic Economic Load Dispatch (DELD), optimization and evolution computation become a major part with the strategy for solving the issues. From various algorithms Differential Evolution (DE) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms are used to encode in a vector form and in sharing information and both approaches are based on the master-apprentice mechanism for the Dual Evolution St...

This paper presents an application of Harmony Search algorithm (HSA) to solve the Dynamic Economic-Environmental Dispatch (DEED) problem under some equality and inequality constraints. The equality constraints reflect a real power balance, and the inequality constraint reflects the limits of real generation. The voltage levels and security are assumed to be constant. Dynamic Economic-Environmen...
