Biogeography-Based Optimization for the solution of the Combined Heat and Power Economic Dispatch Problem
S. Santhoosh Aravind, Riya Scaria · 2013
in this paper a new approach for the solution of THE COMBINED HEAT AND POWER ECONOMIC DISPATCH PROBLEM (CHPED) is being presented using BIOGEOGRAPHY-BASED OPTIMIZATION (BBO). BIOGEOGRAPHY-BASED OPTIMIZATION (BBO) is a type of evolutionary algorithm which is based on the theory of biogeography and is inspired from the two concepts-migration of species between islands via flotsam, wind, flying, swimming, etc. and mutation. The proposed test system takes into account seven units and also a comparison with ARTIFICIAL BEE COLONY ALGORITHM (ABC) is being made. From the results it is seen that BBO provides best solution than ABC.
