Application of Economic Load Distribution to Power Systems with the Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm Approach

Abstract

The economic dispatch problem has received increasing attention with the development of modern power systems. It is an optimization problem that aims to find the most economical schedule of generating units while satisfying load demand and operational constraints. In this paper, the application of the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm to the economic dispatch problem is presented. The proposed method is demonstrated using a six-unit system. Additionally, the results obtained from the proposed method are compared with those from other optimization methods applied to the same problem.
