At the central energy management center in a power system, the real time controls continuously track the load changes and endeavor to match the total power demand with total generation in such a manner that the operating cost is minimized while all the operating constraints are satisfied. However, due to the strict government regulations on environmental protection, operation at minimum cost is...

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),...

This paper presents the application of an enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) combined with Gaussian Mutation (GM) for solving the Dynamic Economic Dispatch (DED) problem considering the operating constraints of generators. The EPSO consists of the standard PSO and a modified heuristic search approaches. Namely, the ability of the traditional PSO is enhanced by applying the modified heu...
