Solving economic dispatch problem using evolutionary programming method / Shamsul Haida Setapah

Economic operation in power system concern with minimum cost of production it is called Economic Dispatch. Economic Dispatch determines the active power to be generated by a generating unit in a power system at minimum generation cost, while meeting the load demand simultaneously. The Evolutionary Programming developed uses the total generation cost function as the objective functions for the Economic Dispatch optimization problem. The proposed method was applied to a three generating system consider losses and without losses. The results were obtained compared with the classical method namely LaGrange Method to show its feasibility. This program was written in "C" Language.
