Abstract

Combined Economic and Emission Dispatch (CEED) task forms multi-objective optimization problems to be resolved to minimize emission and fuel costs. The disadvantage of the conventional method is its incapability to avoid falling in local optimal, particularly when handling nonlinear and complex systems. Metaheuristics have recently received considerable attention due to their enhanced capacity to prevent local optimal solutions in addressing all the optimization problems as a black box. Therefore, this paper focuses on the design of an improved sand cat optimization algorithm based CEED (ISCOA-CEED) technique. The ISCOA-CEED technique majorly concentrates on reducing fuel costs and the emission of generation units. Moreover, the presented ISCOA-CEED technique transforms the equality constraints of the CEED issue into inequality constraints. Besides, the improved sand cat optimization algorithm (ISCOA) is derived from the integration of traditional SCOA with the Levy Flight (LF) concept. At last, the ISCOA-CEED technique is applied to solve a series of 6 and 11 generators in the CEED issue. The experimental validation of the ISCOA-CEED technique ensured the enhanced performance of the presented ISCOA-CEED technique over other recent approaches.
