Biogeography based optimization for different economic load dispatch problem with different migration models

This paper is an extension made in biogeography based optimization (BBO) by modifying its migration models to make it more realistic. This BBO technique is then applied on simple economic load dispatch (ELD) problem and ELD with valve point effect to analyze the effect of different migration models. Our analysis concludes that the quadratic and sinusoidal models provide the best result for the ELD and ELD valve point effect problem respectively.
