Abstract
Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) is one of the important optimization tasks, which provides an economic condition for the power systems. In this paper, Evolved Bat Algorithm (EBA) as an evolutionary based approach is presented to solve the constraint economic load dispatched problem of thermal plants. The output generating power for all the power-generation units can be determined by the optimal technique for transmission losses, power balance and generation capacity, so that the total constraint cost function is minimized. A piecewise quadratic function is used to show the fuel cost equation of each generation unit, and the B-coefficient matrix is used to represent transmission losses. The systems with six units and fifteen units of thermal plants are used to test the demonstration of the solution quality and computation efficiency of the feasibility of the application of the Evolved Bat Algorithm for ELD. The experimental results compared with the genetic algorithm (GA) method for ELD, and with the particle swarm optimization (PSO) method for ELD, show that the applied EBA method for ELD can provide the higher efficiency and accuracy.
