A Review on Economic Load Dispatch Using Evolutionary Technique

Economic load dispatch is an important optimization problem in power system. Economic dispatch is the short-term determination of the optimal output of a number of electricity generation facilities, to meet the system load, at the lowest possible cost, subject to transmission and operational constraints. The Economic Dispatch Problem is solved by specialized computer software which should honor the operational and system constraints of the available resources and corresponding transmission capabilities This paper presents a review on evolutionary methods for solving economic load dispatch problem which mainly include Genetic Algorithm based approach, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Differential Evolution (DE) which will encourage the researches for providing better solution for economic load dispatch problem.
