Hybrid Differential Evolution Technique for Economic Dispatch Problems

This paper is aimed at presenting techniques of hybrid differential evolution for solving various kinds of Economic Dispatch (ED) problems such as those including prohibited zones, emission dispatch, multiple fuels, and multiple areas. The results obtained for typical problems are compared with those obtained by other techniques such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Classical Evolutionary Programming (CEP) techniques. The comparison of the results proves that hybrid differential evolution is quite favorable for solving ED problems with no restrictions on the shapes of the input-output functions of the generator.
