ECONOMIC POWER DISPATCH USING EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHM

In this paper we consider the important problem of economic operation of power systems:how to operate a power system to supply all loads at minimum cost. Here we assume that we have some flexibility in adjusting the power delivered by each generator. Usually the total load is less than the available generator capacity. But, there are many possible generation assignments. In this work, genetic algorithm (GA) is a solution to the economic dispatch problem of IEEE 9-bus, 30 bus and 57-bus model systems.
