Energy 8, 449–458 (2014). https://doi.org/10.1007/s11708-014-0316-82730-7719http://dspace.univ-eloued.dz/handle/123456789/27460ArticleIn recent years, various heuristic optimization methods have been proposed to solve economic dispatch (ED) problem in power systems. This paper presents the well-known power system ED problem solution considering valve-point effect by a new optimization algorithm called artificial bee colony (ABC). The proposed approach has been applied to various test systems with incremental fuel cost function, taking into account the valve-point effects. The results show that the proposed approach is efficient and robust when compared with other optimization algorithms reported in literature.enartificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, economic dispatch (ED), valve-point effect, optimizationArticle
