Economic dispatch problem (EDP) is a balance problem between the
minimum fuel cost and demanded power within the active power limits. In this
study, economic dispatch problem was implemented by the Particle Swarm
Optimization (PSO), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Teaching Learning Based Optimization
(TLBO) and Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) on the power systems of 850 MW
including 3 active bus with valve-point load effect, 1800 MW including 13
active bus with valve-point load effect to solve the optimum fuel cost and run
time for a comparison. Minimum fuel cost in 3 active bus power system was
calculated as 8234.086 $/h in 3.28 s by the TLBO method. In 13 active bus power
system, it is calculated as 18019.15 $/h in 8.95 s by the PSO method.
