Clonal Selection Algorithm Applied to Economic Dispatch Optimization of Electrical Energy

  • Chapter
Innovative Computing Methods and Their Applications to Engineering Problems

Abstract

Economic dispatch is an important problem in power systems. This chapter presents how a method of stochastic optimization, a metaheuristic known as CLONALG (CLONal selection ALGorithm), can be applied to the economic dispatch problem. The objective function used in the optimization is based on Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions, thus, guaranteeing a convergence to the global optimum. Examples and results are presented showing the method is capable of finding the optimum solution while respecting power generation limits.
