This document summarizes literature on economic load dispatch problems. It begins with an introduction to economic load dispatch and its goal of generating required power at minimum cost. It then provides a literature survey summarizing 12 papers on optimization techniques applied to economic load dispatch, including methods like particle swarm optimization and grey wolf optimization. The document also discusses India's overall power generation scenario and Tripura's scenario. It defines the economic load dispatch problem formulation and constraints considered like power balance, generator capacity, and prohibited operating zones. The document concludes that the proposed enhanced colliding bodies optimization technique efficiently solves the economic load dispatch problem.
