Abstract


This paper presents a Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) to solve Dynamic Economic Load Dispatch (DELD) problem with valve-point effects and piecewise fuel options. DELD aims to find out optimum generation schedule of the committed generating units over a certain timing period, sustaining practical constraints and power demands in each interval. Due to the valve-point effect and piecewise fuel options DELD becomes as complex problem, hence in order to achieve the cost reduction and satisfying the dynamic behaviour of the generating units proposed algorithm presented.  The practicality of the proposed method is evaluated by performing simulations on standard 10-unit and 19-unit Indian utility systems for a 24 h time schedule at various load patterns. The simulation results attained by the FPA are related with other previous published techniques of the biography. These results clearly show that the proficiency and robustness of the proposed FPA method for resolving the non-linear constrained DELD problem.
