Artificial Electric Field Algorithm Applied to the Economic Load Dispatch Problem With Valve Point Loading Effect

Economic load dispatch is to operate thermal generators economically with fulfilling demand. This economic problem becomes highly complex and non-linear after considering various operating constraints like valve-point loading effect, generator constraints, prohibited zone. The recently developed physics law-based artificial electric field algorithm has been applied solve ELD problems. exploration exploitation strategy of the helps avoid local optimum value, get global value in less computation time. AEFA method 10, 13, 15, 40, large 110 validate effectiveness proposed algorithm. results obtained by have compared other algorithms.
