Economic dispatch of IEEE 26 bus with transmission losses employing a modified cuckoo optimization algorithm (MCOA) method

Economic Dispatch (ED) serves as an important mechanism, advantageous for controlling and operating. The core function of ED lies in the scheduling generation system, currently operating or running each generating unit to minimize need load. research system this study was conducted by implementing Modified Cuckoo Optimization Algorithm (MCOA) method, then compared with (COA) method. considered values include load power, generator power losses cost calculation. tested 10 times analyzed produce a value cost. comparison results minimum MCOA were 1277 MW, maximum 1315 average 1293 while COA produced 1278 1341 1294 MW. At MCOA, obtained at 13716 $ / day, 14590 day 14085 day. Meanwhile, 13801 14694 14301 last step performed reduce value, which method result 85 0.80%, cheaper than standard In addition, comparisons conducted, indicating that deemed successful during trials performing optimization better costs.
