Abstract

The economic emission dispatch (EED) assumes a lot of significance to meet the clean energy requirements of the society and simultaneously minimizes the cost of generation. The biogeography based optimization (BBO), inspired from the geographical distribution of biological species, has some features that are common to genetic algorithm and particle swam optimization; and searches for optimal solution through the migration and mutation operators. This paper presents an effective BBO strategy for obtaining the robust solution of EED problem. The feasibility of the proposed approach is evaluated through three test systems and the results are presented to highlight its suitability for practical applications.
