An Application of Differential Search Algorithm in Solving Non-Convex Economic Dispatch Problems with Valve-Point Effects

This paper presents an application of Differential Search (DS) algorithm for solving non-convex economic dispatch (ED) problems with the valve loading effects. ED is one of the most challenging problems of power system since it is difficult to determine the optimum generation scheduling to meet the...
