TL;DR: In this article, a novel heuristic optimization approach to constrained economic load dispatch (ELD) problems using the adaptive variable population (PSO) technique is presented, which easily takes care of different constraints like transmission losses, dynamic operation constraints (ramp rate limits) and prohibited operating zones and also accounts for non-smoothness of cost functions arising due to the use of multiple fuels.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel stochastic optimisation approach to solve constrained economic load dispatch problem using hybrid bacterial foraging (BF) technique is presented, in order to explore the search space for finding the local minima of the current location, the simplex algorithm called nelder-mead is used along with BF algorithm.

TL;DR: In this article, a new optimization problem is proposed to determine the maximum distributed generation (DG) penetration level by optimally selecting types, locations and sizes of utility owned DG units.

TL;DR: The hybrid harmony search algorithm with swarm intelligence (HHS) to solve the dynamic economic load dispatch problem and affirmed the robustness and proficiency of the proposed methodology over other existing techniques.

TL;DR: A new index is proposed, “protection coordination index” (PCI), which can serve as an effective measure when planning the protection of meshed distribution systems with DG, by optimally calculating variations in the maximum DG penetration level with changes in the protection coordination time interval.
