Economic Load Dispatch Using Grey Wolf Optimization

This paper presents grey wolf optimization (GWO) to solve convex economic load dispatch (ELD) problem. Grey\ud Wolf Optimization (GWO) is a new meta-heuristic inspired by grey wolves. The leadership hierarchy and hunting\ud mechanism of the grey wolves is mimicked in GWO. The objective of ELD problem is to minimize the total\ud generation cost while fulfilling the different constraints, when the required load of power system is being\ud supplied. The proposed technique is implemented on two different test systems for solving the ELD with various\ud load demands. To show the effectiveness of GWO to solve ELD problem results were compared with other\ud existing techniques
