Solving the Economic Load Dispatch Problem Using Crow Search Algorithm

Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) problem concern on scheduling the committed generating units outputs such that the load in demand can be provided with minimum operating cost while satisfying all units and system equality and inequality constraints. This paper proposes the use of Crow Search Algorithm (CSA) to solve the ELD Problem. CSA is yet another metaheuristic search algorithm that adopt the method of crows when they search, hide and retrieve food when needed. CSA is explored to solve the nonlinear ELD constrained optimization problem for a three units power system. The results obtained by CSA are compared with various results obtained in the literature. Simulation results shows that using CSA can lead to finding stable and adequate power generated that can fulfill the need of both the civil and industrial areas.
