Solution of Economic Dispatch Problem using BBO for Power system optimization

Abstract

This paper presents the biogeography based optimization (BBO) algorithm to solve economic load dispatch problem. Economic load dispatch problem is basically an optimization problem where objective function may be highly nonlinear, non-convex, and no differentiable and may have multiple local minima. The models of biogeography explain how an organism arises, immigrate from an environment to another and gets eliminated. This method is based on two steps mutation and migration. This paper provides to show the minimum cost of the system constraint for each generating system also if the power demand increases the minimum cost also increases with the standard deviation.BBO technique is implemented in MATLAB environment.
