A New modified particle swarm Optimization (PSO) Technique for Non-Convex Economic Dispatch

This paper gives a new modified technique for evaluating non-convex economic dispatch (NCED) problem having non-linear, discontinuous cost function. This new particle swarm optimization technique incorporates time varying acceleration coefficients (NPSOTVAC). The highly non-linear cost function due to ramp rate limit, prohibited operating zones and valve point loading effect is considered in the proposed method. The effectiveness of proposed NPSOTVAC algorithm is proved through test on 6 and 15 unit test systems.
