Abstract

This paper investigates the performance of Differential Evolution (DE) for solving combined heat and power dispatch (CHPD) problems in power systems. Solution method based on Different Evolution is developed and its performance is tested on a test case of combined heat and power dispatch problem. The simulation results demonstrate that the performance of DE based algorithm is far better than the better known floating point Genetic Algorithm (FPGA) in terms of success rate, convergence rate and solution quality.
