Non-convex Economic Load Dispatch using Cuckoo Search Algorithm

Non-convex Economic Load Dispatch using Cuckoo Search Algorithm

This paper presents cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) for solving non-convex economic load dispatch (ELD) problems of fossil fuel fired generators considering transmission losses and valve point loading effect. CSA is a new meta-heuristic optimisation technique inspired from the obligate brood parasitism of some cuckoo species by laying their eggs in the nests of other host birds of other species. ...

Economic Load Dispatch Using Cuckoo Search Algorithm

Economic Load Dispatch problem (ELD) is one of the most important optimization problems in power system operation and planning. This paper introduces a solution to ELD problem using a new metaheuristic natureinspired algorithm called Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA). The proposed approach has been applied to various systems. This algorithm is based on the obligate brood parasitic behavior of some ...

Non-convex Economic Dispatch with Heuristic Load Patterns using Harmony Search Algorithm

This paper presents an attempt to explore the applicability of harmony search algorithm (HSA) to solve extremely challenging non-convex economic load dispatch (ELD) problem with transmission losses involving variations of consumer load patterns. The efficiency of the proposed approach HSA has been tested successfully on the standard 6-bus system, IEEE-14 bus system, and the IEEE-30 bus system w...

Environmental Economic Load Dispatch with Quadratic Fuel Cost Function Using Cuckoo Search Algorithm

In this paper, a Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) is proposed for solving environmental economic load dispatch (EELD) problem with quadratic fuel function. Cuckoo Search is a new meta-heuristic algorithm inspired from the obligate brood parasitism of some cuckoo species by laying their eggs in the nests of other host birds of other species for solving optimization problems with promising results. ...
