Improved Fitness Dependent Optimizer for Solving Economic Load Dispatch Problem
Economic Load Dispatch depicts a fundamental role in the operation of power
systems, as it decreases the environmental load, minimizes the operating cost,
and preserves energy resources. The optimal solution to Economic Load Dispatch
problems and various constraints can be obtained by evolving several
evolutionary and swarm-based algorithms. The major drawback to swarm-based
algorithms is premature convergence towards an optimal solution. Fitness
Dependent Optimizer is a novel optimization algorithm stimulated by the
decision-making and reproductive process of bee swarming. Fitness Dependent
Optimizer (FDO) examines the search spaces based on the searching approach of
Particle Swarm Optimization. To calculate the pace, the fitness function is
utilized to generate weights that direct the search agents in the phases of
exploitation and exploration. In this research, the authors have carried out
Fitness Dependent Optimizer to solve the Economic Load Dispatch problem by
reducing fuel cost, emission allocation, and transmission loss. Moreover, the
authors have enhanced a novel variant of Fitness Dependent Optimizer, which
incorporates novel population initialization techniques and dynamically
employed sine maps to select the weight factor for Fitness Dependent Optimizer.
The enhanced population initialization approach incorporates a quasi-random
Sabol sequence to generate the initial solution in the multi-dimensional search
space. A standard 24-unit system is employed for experimental evaluation with
different power demands. Empirical results obtained using the enhanced variant
of the Fitness Dependent Optimizer demonstrate superior performance in terms of
low transmission loss, low fuel cost, and low emission allocation compared to
the conventional Fitness Dependent Optimizer. The experimental study obtained
