The modern power system around the world has grown in complexity of interconnection and
power demand. The focus has shifted towards enhanced performance, increased customer focus,
low cost, reliable and clean power. In this changed perspective, scarcity of energy resources,
increasing power generation cost, environmental concern necessitates optimal economic dispatch.
In reality power stations neither are at equal distances from load nor have similar fuel cost
functions. Hence for providing cheaper power, load has to be distributed among various power
stations in a way which results in lowest cost for generation. Practical economic dispatch (ED)
problems have highly non-linear objective function with rigid equality and inequality constraints.
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is applied to allot the active power among the generating
stations satisfying the system constraints and minimizing the cost of power generated. The
viability of the method is analyzed for its accuracy and rate of convergence. The economic load
dispatch problem is solved for three and six unit system using PSO and conventional method for
both cases of neglecting and including transmission losses. The results of PSO method were
compared with conventional method and were found to be superior. The conventional
optimization methods are unable to solve such problems due to local optimum solution
convergence. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) since its initiation in the last 15 years has been
a potential solution to the practical constrained economic load dispatch (ELD) problem. The
optimization technique is constantly evolving to provide better and faster results.
While writing the report on our project seminar, we were wondering that Science and smart
technology are as ever expanding field and the engineers working hard day and night and make

10. Swarm Intelligence
• Collective system capable of accomplishing difficult tasks in
dynamic and varied environments without any external guidance
or control and with no central coordination
• Achieving a collective performance which could not normally be
achieved by an individual acting alone
11. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)
• PSO is a robust stochastic optimization
technique based on the movement and
intelligence of swarms.
• PSO applies the concept of social interaction
to problem solving.
12. PSO Search Scheme
• It uses a number of agents, i.e., particles, that
constitute a swarm moving around in the
search space looking for the best solution.
• Each particle is treated as a point in a N-dimensional
space which adjusts its “flying”
according to its own flying experience as well
as the flying experience of other particles.
13. Particle Flying Model
• pbest the best solution achieved so far by that particle.
• gbest the best value obtained so far by any particle in the
neighborhood of that particle.
The basic concept of PSO lies in accelerating each particle toward its
pbest and the gbest locations, with a random weighted acceleration at
each time.

15. Particle Flying Model
• Each particle tries to modify
its position using the
following information:
– the current positions,
– the current velocities,
– the distance between the
current position and pbest,
– the distance between the
current position and the gbest.

20. Parameters selection
Different ways to choose parameters:
• proper balance between exploration and exploitation
• putting all attention on exploitation
(making possible searches in a vast problem spaces)
• automatization by meta-optimization
