Hybrid BA/TS for economic dispatch considering the generator constraint

摘要

In this paper the hybrid BA/TS is developed. This hybrid is merged from bee algorithm (BA) and tabu search (TS) to solve economic dispatch (ED) problem. The 6 units system and 10 units system are used to demonstrate for the improvement of the proposed by comparing with general BA. The generator constraint is used to determine the power of generator of test system for normal operation. All test results indicate that the operating costs by using proposed method are lower than those from general BA and hence, hybrid BA/TS methods can result in economic dispatch problem. For economic dispatch problems, the hybrid BA/TS method is very effective. This means hybrid BA/TS is an alternative approaches than the general BA.
