Abstract

Traditionally one convex cost function for each generation is assumed in economic power dispatch. However, it is more realistic to represent the cost function as a piecewise quadratic function rather than one convex function. This paper presents evolutionary algorithm approaches to solve the problems of economic power dispatch with quadratic cost functions and piecewise quadratic cost functions. To improve GA, EP and ES characteristics. optimization methods combining GA with ES and EP with ES are proposed. The results for the proposed algorithms are compared with those of numerical method and show the better solutions in the ELD problem.
