Economic dispatch by optimization techniques

The current paper offers the solution strategy for economic dispatch problem in electric power system implementing ant lion optimization algorithm (ALOA) and bat (BA) techniques. In network, (ED) is a short-term calculation of optimum performance several electricity generations or plan outputs all usable generation units from energy produced to fulfill necessary demand, although equivalent unequal specifications need be achieved at minimal fuel carbon pollution costs. this paper, two recent meta-heuristic approaches are introduced, BA ALOA. A rigorous stochastically developmental computing focused on action intellect lions an ALOA imitates lions' hunting process. introduction numerical description its biological actions ED framework. These algorithms applied systems: small scale three generator large six generator. Results show were compared metrics convergence rate, cost, average run time that suitable studies which clear comparison set with other algorithms. Both these tested IEEE-30 bus reliability test system.
