Abstract

This paper introduces a new global optimization method, the filled function method (FFM), to solve the multimodal economic load dispatch (ELD) problem. In contrast to the genetic algorithm (GA), which is a probabilistic approach and has been a choice to solve the ELD problem, the FFM is a deterministic approach. In the present work, we implement the FFM and solve a generic ELD problem. The optimization results are reported and the performance is satisfactory. We expect that the FFM will receive more attention from the power system engineering.
