This paper presents artificial immune system for optimal scheduling of thermal plants in coordination with fixed head hydro units. Numerical results of two test systems have been presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results obtained from the proposed algorithm...

This paper presents teaching–learning-based optimization algorithm for solving MAED (multi-area economic dispatch) problem with tie line constraints considering transmission losses, multiple fuels, valve-point loading and prohibited operating zones. TLBO (teaching–learning-based...

This paper presents cuckoo search algorithm for solving both convex and nonconvex ED (economic dispatch) problems of fossil fuel fired generators considering transmission losses, multiple fuels, valve-point loading and prohibited operating zones. This paper also presents cuckoo search algorithm...

In this paper a technical review of parallel operation of power electronics inverters for load sharing conditions in distributed generation (DG) network is presented. Emphasis is given to parallel operation of Active Power Filters (APFs) as they are widely used to mitigate load current...
