摘要:Optimum active and reactive power dispatch is an inherent part of power system generation planning and it is the need of an hour for the electrical utilities and power engineers to dig this area in short and long term planning scenarios. Load demand requirements subjected to economic feasible solutions matching voltage profile, power demand, minimization of losses, voltage stability and improve the capacity of the system is the need of the hour. Optimization techniques based on evolutionary computing, artificial intelligence, search method finds their applications in the area of economic load dispatch planning to reach global optimal solution for this multi-decision, multi-objective combinatorial problem subjected to different constraints. In this paper, ant bee colony based algorithm has been proposed to solve economic dispatch problem. Unlike other heuristic algorithms, ABC utilizes search space as multi-step decision process. It possesses a flexible and well-balanced operator to enhance and adapt the global and fine tune local search to follow the minimum cost path in the search boundary. The suggested technique is tested on IEEE 25 bus system. Test results are compared with other techniques presented in literature.
