In this paper a new modified artificial bee colony algorithm (MABC) is proposed to solve the
economic dispatch problem by taking into account the valve-point effects, the emission …

Economic dispatch (ED) plays an important role in power system operation, since it can
decrease the operating cost, save energy resources, and reduce environmental load. This …

The Economic Dispatch (ED) is one of the most important optimization problems in power
systems the ultimate goal of the ED is to minimize the cost of operations in a power …

This article presents multiple strategies to handle ramp rate in dynamic economic load
dispatch (DELD) problem. DELD is a power system optimization problem that tackles the …

Finding a practical solution for the allocation of resources in ready-mixed concrete (RMC) is
a challenging issue. In the literature, heuristic methods have been mostly used for solving …

The design and optimization of the analog complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor
(CMOS) integrated circuits (ICs) are intrinsically complicated and depend heavily on the …

This paper introduces the exchange market algorithm with smart searching (EMA-SS) for
solving optimization problems in which a penalty factor has been embedded. The EMA-SS is …

Economic dispatch (ED) is an optimization tool that is used to allocate active load demands
to the generating units through optimizing cost functions subject to the non-linear and non …

Application of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm on power system operation is
studied in this chapter. Relay protection coordination in distribution networks and economic …

It is well recognized that human societies and their problem-solving capabilities have
evolved much faster than biological evolution. The inspiration from human behaviors …
