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...

This paper has developed a metaheuristic-based methodology to commit and allocate the load demand among the running dual heat and power sources. The proposed two-stage process using Grey Wolf Algorithm (GWA) engages suitable heat and power units and performs the combined dispatch. The method was...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to solve the maintenance management problems of generating units under the reliability criterion. Design/methodology/approach – The problem has been formulated as a combinatorial optimization task, with explicit and simultaneous treatment of multiple...

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...
