The rapid growth in greenhouse gases (GHGs), the lack of electricity production, and an ever-increasing demand for electrical energy requires optimal reduction coal-fired thermal generating units (CFTGU) with aim minimizing fuel costs emissions. Previous approaches have been unable to deal such problems due non-convexity realistic scenarios confined optimum convergence. Instead, meta-heuristic ...

The Search and Rescue optimization algorithm (SAR) is a recent metaheuristic inspired by the exploration’s behaviour for humans throughout search rescue processes. SAR applied to solve Combined Emission Economic Dispatch (CEED) Load (ELD). comparative performance of against several methods was performed assess its reliability. These algorithms include Earthworm (EWA), Grey wolf optimizer (GWO),...

Problem statement: Implementation of an Effective Biogeography Based Algorithm (EBBO) for Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) problems in power system in order to obtain optimal economic dispatch with minimum generation cost. Approach: A viable methodology has been implemented for a 20 unit generator system to minimize the fuel cost function considering the transmission loss and system operating limit...

This paper presents a comparative study of classical method and soft computing optimization algorithm applied to solve Economic Load Dispatch problem with non-smooth fuel cost curves considering transmission losses, power balance and capacity constraints. The soft computing algorithm varies from the classical method in terms of the following basic factors. The genetic algorithm based approach p...

This study presents a new approach based on Tanaka's fuzzy linear regression (FLP) algorithm to solve well-known power system economic load dispatch problem (ELD). Tanaka's fuzzy linear regression (FLP) formulation will be employed to compute the optimal solution of optimization problem after linearization. The unknowns are expressed as fuzzy numbers with a triangular membership function that h...
