Investigating the performance of evolutionary algorithms on power dispatch with optimality verification

Abstract

Optimal power dispatch represents one of the most important newlineproblems in the solution of the real and reactive power dispatch problem newlineIn general these problems are extremely complex nonlinear and newlinediscontinuous in nature Evolutionary algorithms are applied to solve power newlinedispatch problems with various models To test the performance and newlinecapability of the evolutionary algorithms four types of single objective newlineoptimization problems and two types of multiobjective optimization problems newlineare consideredThe single objective optimization problems considered are newlinenonsmooth economic dispatch multiarea economic dispatch dynamic newlineeconomic dispatch and nonconvex economic dispatch problems and the newlinemultiobjective optimization problems considered are economicemission newlinedispatch and multiobjective reactive power dispatch newline newline
