Scope of Biogeography Based Optimization for Economic Load Dispatch and Multi-Objective Unit Commitment Problem

摘要

Biogeography Based Optimization (BBO) algorithm is a population-based algorithm based on biogeography concept, which uses the idea of the migration strategy of animals or other spices for solving optimization problems. Biogeography Based Optimization algorithm has a simple procedure to find the optimal solution for the non-smooth and non-convex problems through the steps of migration and mutation. This research paper presents the solution to Economic Load Dispatch Problem for IEEE 3, 4, 6 and 10-unit generating model using Biogeography Based Optimization algorithm. It also presents the mathematical formulation of scalar and multi-objective unit commitment problem, which is a further extension of economic load dispatch problem.
