TY - JOUR T1 - Economic Load Dispatch Problem with Ant Lion Optimization Using Practical Constraints AU - Reddy, Y.venkata Krishna AU - Reddy, M.damodar PY - 2019 DA - June JF - Gazi University Journal of Science PB - Gazi University WT - DergiPark SN - 2147-1762 SP - 524 EP - 542 VL - 32 IS - 2 LA - en AB - This paper presents AntLion Optimization (ALO) algorithmffffor solvingfffEconomic Load Dispatch(ELD) problemfffwith practical constraints. ALO is a newly developedoptimization algorithm, which draws inspiration from mimics, the huntingfffmechanism of antlions innature. The antlions have a unique hunting mechanism and exhibit highcapability of reaching global optima, exploring the search space to find theoptimalfffsolution within a low computational time. Forpractical ELD problem needs to take care about the characteristics ofgenerators, and their operational constraints, such as ramp rate limits,prohibited operating zones, generation operating limits, transmission loss,valve-point loading and non-linear emission functions. In order to validate the potency of the proposed method, four casestudies are investigated on different 6-unit systems and correlated withrecently published ELD solution methods. The results of the present work showsthat the proposed ALO is dominant than othermethods to finding out optimal results. Stastical analysisfffof the results among 30trails has beenfffcarried out to validate the ALO as a highly potentmethod. This algorithmfffis considered to be a promising best alternativealgorithm for solving the ELD problemff in power systems.
