A Comparative Study of Meta-heuristics Algorithms in evaluation of Economic Load Dispatch Problems in Power Generating Station with Matlab Codes

摘要

This paper presents a comparative study of metaheuristics algorithms in evaluation of economic load dispatch problem in power generating station with MATLAB codes. In this paper, the formulation of the ELD problems using mathematical illustrations and MATLAB codes were presented. This consists of the ELD cost model, Model calculations, cost function and parse solution. It also presents the application of some metaheuristics algorithms (solution algorithms) such as ACSA and PSO in solving ELD problem with MATLAB codes. The ELD problem was modeling using Egbin thermal power station, Nigeria as our case study.
