Investigation of non-conventional methods for combined economic emission dispatch problem

Abstract

This paper investigates various non-conventional methods for optimal solution for Combined Economic Emission Dispatch (CEED). CEED can schedule operation of the generators by considering fuel cost, emission level, satisfying load demand and operational constraints so that optimal results are obtained. In this article, the CEED problem is formulated as a multi-objective problem by considering the fuel cost and emission objectives of generating units.
