Abstract

This paper presents the application of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to Economic Load Dispatch of the Power System. The ELD problem has been solved through many traditional optimization methods including: Gradient based techniques, newton methods, linear programming and quadratic programming. The economic dispatch reduces the system cost by allocating the real power among online generating units. Particle Swarm optimization (PSO) is a population-based algorithm in which each particle is considered as s solution in the multimodal optimization space. There are several types of PSO proposed but here in this work very simplest form of PSO is taken to solve the Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) problem. The particles are generated keeping the constraints in mind for each generating unit.
