Performance analysis of Lambda-iteration method for solving ELD problem in cloud based generation scheduling data management system

ELD problem of the two generating station system was solved by IW-PSO in the cloud based generation scheduling data management system. Due to higher execution time of IW-PSO, it becomes important to investigate the performance of other methods for solving the ELD problem for this system. With decrease in the number of swarm particles, execution time reduces but there is also a subsequent degradation in the performance. To overcome these problems the performance of simpler, lambda λ-method is investigated for solving this system resembling IEEE 5-bus system. From the obtained result, it is clear that the execution time of λ-iteration method is much lower in comparison to that obtained with IW-PSO and thus can be good choice for the proposed generation scheduling data management system. But for larger systems, it is obvious that computations increases significantly with λ-iteration method and therefore optimization techniques can be a better choice.
