CSO Algorithm for Economic Dispatch Decision of Hybrid Generation System

摘要

The aim of this research is to study the optimal economic dispatch (ED) through Cat Swarm Optimization (CSO) algorithm. Many areas in power systems require solving one or more nonlinear optimization problems. While analytical methods might suffer from slow convergence and the CSO can, therefore, be effectively applied to different optimization problems. In this paper, the CSO is also extended to coordinate wind and thermal dispatch and to minimize total generation cost. Results indicated that the CSO is superior to PSO in the fast convergence and better performance to find the global best solution.
