Abstract

The increasing global demand for electric power presents significant challenges for power utilities, as they must balance the need for reliable and sustainable power generation with the goal to minimize generation costs. This challenge has led to studying Economic Load Dispatch (ELD), which aims to optimize power generation at minimal fuel costs.  This paper presents a comprehensive review of several primary techniques used in solving ELD problems, including traditional methods such as the Lambda Iteration, Gradient, and Newton-Raphson techniques, as well as modern optimization methods like Genetic Algorithm (GA), Simulated Annealing (SA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Sine Cosine Algorithm (SCA), and Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA). The paper also provides a comparative analysis using tables and chart in section three outlining the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of each technique discussed in section two. Additionally, this review examines the applications of these techniques on IEEE test systems in various studies, highlighting their effectiveness on practical utility making it easier for researchers to make a choice in selecting a technique for their ELD problem.

Abstract

The increasing demand for efficient and reliable power generation systems has amplified the importance of solving Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) problems. This study compares the performance of two optimization techniques—Genetic Algorithm (GA), a robust metaheuristic approach, and Lambda Iteration, a traditional iterative method—on the IEEE 39-bus 10-generator test system. The analysis focuses on fuel cost minimization and computational efficiency. GA achieves a significant reduction in total fuel cost to $1390.29, outperforming Lambda Iteration's $2324.22. However, Lambda Iteration demonstrates faster convergence at 0.2 seconds compared to GA's 1.2 seconds. The results underscore the trade-offs between cost efficiency and computational speed, providing valuable insights into the suitability of advanced optimization methods like GA for complex ELD problems and the practicality of Lambda Iteration for simpler systems.
