This paper deals with particle swarm optimization (PSO) method to solve Combined Economic emission Dispatch Problem (CEEDP) of thermal units while satisfying the constraints such as generator capacity limits, power balance and line flow limits. PSO is a stochastic optimization process based on the movement and intelligence of swarms. The objective is to minimize the total fuel cost of generatio...

Economic load dispatch is one of the main functions of electrical power management systems. The main objective of economic load dispatch is to minimize the fuel cost while satisfying the required equality and inequality constraints. Economic Load Dispatch is a well known problem and has been a major concern for researchers and industrialists all around the world. The problem consists of divisio...

This paper present a simulated annealing (SA) algorithm for solving the combined economic emission dispatch (CEED) problem in power systems considering the power limits. The CEED is to minimize both the operating fuel cost and emission level simultaneously while satisfying the load demand and operational constraints. The philosophy involves the introduction of a new decision variable through a ...

This paper presents a newly developed optimization approach involving a modified shuffled frog leaping algorithm (MSFLA) applied for the solution of the economic emission load dispatch (EELD) problem. The approach utilizes the local search strategies for searching global solution. MSFLA is developed on the same frame work of shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA). In this proposed algorithm, a ...
