Abstract Multi-Area Multi-Fuel Economic Dispatch (MAMFED) aims to allocate the best generation schedule in each area and offer power transfers between different areas by minimizing objective functions among available fuel alternatives for unit while satisfying various constraints systems. In this paper, Fuzzified Coulomb’s Franklin’s Laws Behaved Optimization (FCFLBO) approach is proposed solve...

This paper present a simulated annealing (SA) algorithm for solving the combined economic emission dispatch (CEED) problem in power systems considering the power limits. The CEED is to minimize both the operating fuel cost and emission level simultaneously while satisfying the load demand and operational constraints. The philosophy involves the introduction of a new decision variable through a ...

This paper presents a newly developed optimization approach involving a modified shuffled frog leaping algorithm (MSFLA) applied for the solution of the economic emission load dispatch (EELD) problem. The approach utilizes the local search strategies for searching global solution. MSFLA is developed on the same frame work of shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA). In this proposed algorithm, a ...
