Economic Dispatch with Prohibited Zones Using Improved Bat Algorithm

S.Vijayaraj, Dr.R.K.Santhi

This paper presents application of Improved Bat Algorithm(IBA) for solving Economic Load Dispatch problem considering Transmission loss, Valve point loading effect and Prohibited operating zones. Bat algorithm is an optimization algorithm motivated by the echolocation behaviour of natural bats in finding their foods. Potency of the algorithm is tested on six unit system. The promising results show the quick convergence and effectiveness of the Improved Bat algorithm.
