| Abstract | This thesis proposes Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) for Economic Dispatch (ED) with non-smooth cost functions considering valve-point effects. The practical ED problem has non-smooth cost functions subject to equality and inequality constraints which cannot be solved by conventional mathematical approaches. The APSO includes a self-adaptive weight scale to improve the convergence rate. The APSO is tested on 3 different systems ranging from 3 to 40 generators and compared to Evolutionary Programming (EP), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Simulated Annealing (SA), Tabu Search (TS), and Standard Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Test results indicate that the APSO generator fuel costs are less than the others, leading to generator fuel cost savings |
