Real-world optimization problems are very difficult and have high degrees of uncertainty. Conventional optimization algorithms have some limitations (i.e., local solution attainment and/or divergence) in solving such problems. On the other hand, meta-heuristic algorithms prove to be competent in outperforming deterministic algorithms, especially when the complexity of the problem increases. Practitioners...
Power utilities strive for optimal economic operation of their electric networks while considering the challenges of escalating fuel costs and increasing demand for electricity. The dynamic economic dispatch (DED) occupies a prominent place in a power system's operation and control. It aims to determine the optimal power outputs of on-line generating units in order to meet the load demand subject...
Distributed generation (DG) has been utilized in some electric power networks. Power loss reduction, environmental friendliness, voltage improvement, postponement of system upgrading, and increasing reliability are some advantages of DG-unit application. This paper presents a new optimization approach that employs an artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm to determine the optimal DG-unit's size, power...
