Economic Load Dispatch Using AI Technique

In this paper, anti-predatory particle swarm optimization (APSO) technique has been used for solving the economic dispatch (ED) problems. The feasibility of the proposed algorithm is applied to three generator & six generator thermal power plants. The performance of APSO has been compared to the classical particle swarm optimization (SPSO) strategy, a new version of the classical particle swarm optimization namely, new PSO (NPSO), and Genetic algorithm (GA). Effect of valve-point loading (VPL) has been considered for the three generator system whereas this effect has been omitted for the six generator system. Comparison results show that the APSO provides better solutions and more stable convergence characteristics as compared to the other techniques.
