Abstract
Abstract—This research displays an imperialist competitive
algorithm (ICA) to solve economic dispatch problem by
allocating the load demand among the available thermal units
to keep the operating cost minimized as possible. ICA
algorithm has been applied on three systems (6-15-40 units)
with various restrictions as generation limits, ramp rate limits
(RRL), prohibited operating zone (POZ), valve point loading
(VPL) and transmission losses. The numerical results found
from the suggested algorithm are compared with Vortex
Search Algorithm (VSA), Gravitational Search Algorithm
(GSA), jaya algorithm (jaya) and Modified Social Spider
Algorithm (MSSA). The results exhibited that ICA is more
powerful than other methods.
