Hybrid Artificial Bee Colony with Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy for Economic Load Dispatch

To solve economic load dispatch problems, this paper designs a combination of artificial bee colony (ABC) and covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES). In this method, multiple variables are updated at the employed bee stage. The onlooker bee stage of the ABC method is replaced by the CMA-ES method. To begin with a good position, the CMA-ES method is initialized based on the state of employed bees of the ABC method. The proposed method is used to solve economic load dispatch problem with different sizes, and compared with three other methods. Simulation results show that the method attains better performance by combining ABC and CMA-ES. Moreover, the sensitivity of parameter settings is also discussed, and a default setting is obtained for such problems.
