摘要
In recent years, various heuristic optimization methods have been proposed to solve economic dispatch （ED） problem in power systems. This paper presents the well-known power system ED problem solution consider- ing valve-point effect by a new optimization algorithm called artificial bee colony （ABC）. The proposed approach has been applied to various test systems with incremental fuel cost function, taking into account the valve-point effects. The results show that the proposed approach is efficient and robust when compared with other optimiza- tion algorithms reported in literature.
