Optimization Algorithm Based on Information Exchange Mechanism for Power Economic Load Dispatch Problem

Abstract

A multi-strategy elite opposition-based golden-sine whale optimization algorithm(MSEGolden-SWOA) is proposed to solve the economic load dispatch problem(ELD). The introduction of the multi-strategy information exchange mechanism into the elite opposition-based golden-sine whale optimization algorithm can improve the communication mechanism among individuals, which will enhance the efficiency and adaptability of the algorithm to solve practical problems. Results of four different scale IEEE systems show that the MSEGolden-SWOA has improved the accuracy and efficiency of solving ELD. The MSEGolden-SWOA is an effective method for ELD problems.
