Abstract
The solution of Combined Economic and Emission dispatch (CEED) problems aims to minimize the operating fuel cost and emission levels simultaneously, while satisfying load demand and operational constraints. The CEED problem can be formulated as a nonlinear optimization problem with equality and inequality operating constraints. Moth-flame optimization algorithm (MFO) is one of the newest bio inspired optimization techniques. However, this paper proposes a modified moth-flame optimization algorithm (MMFO) to find the optimal solution of CEED problems. MMFO is mainly based on the concept of MFO with modification the path of moths in new spirals around the flame. The developed MMFO algorithm can be used to improve the convergence characteristics of CEED optimal solutions compared to other optimization algorithms. The performance of MMFO is compared with different optimization techniques. Valve point effect, environmental emissions, and transmission line losses are included in the CEED analysis to provide more practical results. MMFO is validated using different standard test systems. The simulated results show the effectiveness and the superiority of the developed MMFO against other well-known optimization techniques.
