Dynamic load economic dispatch problem (DLED) is important in power systems operation, which is a complicated nonlinear constrained optimization problem. It has nonsmooth and nonconvex characteristics when generator valve-point effects are taken into account. This paper proposes an improved...

This paper proposes a novel hybrid chaotic genetic algorithm (HCGA) to solve the short-term generation scheduling of hydro system. The integration of chaotic sequence and genetic algorithm with a new self-adaptive error back-propagation mutation operator are developed, which can overcome...
