Abstract
Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) is the process of allocating the required load between the available generation units such that the cost of operation is minimized. The ELD problem is formulated as a nonlinear constrained optimization problem with both equality and inequality constraints. [...]Abstract
Many real-world problems could be formulated in a way to fit the necessary form for discrete optimization. Discrete optimization problems can be solved by numerous different techniques that have developed over time. Some of the techniques provide optimal solution(s) to the problem [...]
