Application of genetic algorithm to economic load dispatch with Lineflow constraints

This paper presents the solution of economic load dispatch (ELD) with Lineflow constraints through the application of genetic algorithm (GA). Two representative systems, i.e. IEEE 14 bus [Calculations and programs for power system networks (1986)] and IEEE 30 bus [Calculations and programs for power system networks (1986)] systems have been considered for the investigations. The ELD results with GA have been compared with those obtained through Classical Technique [IEE Proc C 139(4) (1992)], Linear Programming [IEEE Trans Power Syst, 1986] and Quadratic Programming [IEE Proc C 136(3) (1989)] techniques.
