Economic Load Dispatch Considering Non-smooth Cost Functions Using Predator–Prey Optimization

In this article, a predator–prey optimization (PPO) is comprehensively developed and successfully applied for solving a single-objective non-linear economic load dispatch (ELD) problem to optimize the generation cost of large-scale power system, considering the non-linearities, such as valve points, and prohibited operation zones (POZs) in the generating units. The effectiveness of the proposed method is examined and validated by carrying out extensive tests on two different test systems, and its results are compared with other those obtained by other techniques available in the recent literature.
