Implementation and Comparison of Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithm Techniques in Combined Economic Emission Dispatch of an Independent Power Plant
This paper presents the optimization of fuel cost, emission of NOX, COX, and SOX gases caused by the generators in a thermal power plant using penalty factor approach.Practical constraints such as generator limits and power balance were considered.Two contemporary metaheuristic techniques, particle DUM-DUM swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algor
