This paper proposes the exchange market algorithm (EMA) to solve the combined economic and emission dispatch (CEED) problems in thermal power plants. The EMA is a new, robust and efficient algorithm to exploit the global optimum point in optimization problems. Existence of two seeking operators in EMA provides a high ability in exploiting global optimum point. In order to show the capabilities ...

Gravitational search algorithm (GSA) has been successfully applied to many scientific and engineering applications in the past few years. In the original GSA and most of its variants, every agent learns from all the agents stored in the same elite group, namely K best . This type of learning strategy is in nature a fully-informed learning strategy, in which every agent has exactly the same glob...

the gravitational search algorithm (gsa) is a novel optimization methodbased on the law of gravity and mass interactions. it has good ability to search forthe global optimum, but its searching speed is really slow in the last iterations. sothe hybridization of particle swarm optimization (pso) and gsa can resolve theaforementioned problem. in this paper, a modified pso, which the movement ofpar...

In recent years, various heuristic optimization methods have been developed. Many of these methods are inspired by swarm behaviors in nature. In this paper, a new optimization algorithm based on the law of gravity and mass interactions is introduced. In the proposed algorithm, the searcher agents are a collection of masses which interact with each other based on the Newtonian gravity and the la...
