چکیده
This paper presents the application of Water Wave Optimization Algorithm (WWOA) for solving economic dispatch problems including practical generator constraints. WWOA is inspired by the shallow water wave theory. The efficiency of the WWO Algorithm for solving economic dispatch problems is demonstrated by implementing it on three test systems having three, six and fifteen generating units with non-linear characteristics of the generator such as ramp-rate limits, prohibited operating zones including the system transmission losses. The results of the proposed approach have been compared with existing results obtained by other solution techniques. The test results reveal the capability of the proposed algorithm as an effective tool for solving various economic dispatch problems in a power system.
