An Enhanced GJO-Pattern Search Algorithm to Solve the Optimal Power Dispatch Problem

A critical optimization job in power system operation is the Optimal Power Dispatch (OPD) problem, which aims to minimize the total generation cost while meeting power demand and system constraints. The complicated, nonlinear, and non-convex character of ELD presents difficulties for traditional optimization techniques, especially when taking valve-point effects, forbidden operating zones, and the integration of renewable energy sources into account. In order to solve the ELD problem, this study provides an improved Grey Jackal Optimization-Pattern Search (GJO-PS) hybrid technique.
