Solving Economic Dispatch Problem with Valve-Point Effect using Bat Algorithm
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 5
Abstract
This paper presents application of bat algorithm (BA) for solving economic dispatch (ED) problem considering valve-point effect and transmission losses. The practical ED problems have non-smooth cost function with equality and inequality constraints, which make the problem of finding the global optimum difficult when using any mathematical approaches. Bat algorithm is an optimization technique motivated by the echolocation behavior of natural bats in finding their foods. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the numerical studies have been performed for 6-units system. The results of the proposed method are compared with other techniques reported in recent literature. The results clearly show that the proposed technique outperforms other state-of-the-art algorithms in solving ED problem with the valve-point effect.
