The paper intends to solve an electric power dispatch problem, which is a multiple non-commensurable objective problem, minimizing operating cost, adhering to pollution norms, and ensuring low transmission loss and no violations on voltage levels subject to various constraints considering the...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to solve the realistic problem of source maintenance scheduling (SMS) based on reliability criterion. A novel effective optimization technique is proposed to solve the problem at hand. Design/methodology/approach – The problem has been formulated as a...

Purpose: Generation scheduling (GS) is the most prominent and hard-hitting problem in the electrical power industry especially in an integrated power system. Countless techniques have been used so far to solve this GS problem for proper functioning of the units in the power system to dispatch...
