Modified Firefly Algorithm in Solving Economic Dispatch Problems with Practical Constraints

This paper presents a modified Firefly Algorithm (MFA) for solving economic dispatch (ED) problems. ED is one of the most challenging problems of power system since it is difficult to determine the optimum generation scheduling to meet the particular load demand with the minimum fuel costs while...
