Abstract

This chapter attempts to use a new evolutionary algorithm called hybrid multi-agent particle swarm optimization (HMAPSO) to solve extremely complex economic load dispatch (ELD) problems with transmission loss and heterogeneous cost curves. The efficiency of this method has been tested successfully on IEEE 14 bus, New England 39 bus and IEEE 118 bus systems. In this proposed method, observation indicates the point which is HMAPSO method and can find more cost-effective load dispatch solutions than the lambda-iteration method (LIM), evolutionary program (EP), genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), bacteria foraging (BF), multi-agent system (MAS), multi-agent particle swarm optimization (MAPSO), particle swirl algorithm (PSA) and hybrid particle swarm optimization (HPSO). In addition, compared with other methods, the calculation time is relatively uniform and shorter.
