Hybrid CLONAL selection algorithm with PSO for valve-point Economic load Dispatch

Economic load Dispatch (ED) is one of the most important problems in power system operation. It is a nonlinear non-convex problem which stochastic search algorithms seem to be appropriate solutions. This study tries to propose a new method which is derived from the combination of two different algorithms, CLONAL as the basic algorithm and PSO. The proposed method has been tested on two different systems containing thirteen and forty generators and obtained results have been compared with the results of other stochastic search algorithms. The fascinating results obtained from the comparison ensure the efficiency of the new proposed method.
