Abstract:
This paper presents hybrid differential evolution (DE) and sequential quadratic programming
(SQP) for solving the dynamic economic dispatch (DED) problem for generating units with valvepoint
effects. DE is used as a global optimizer and SQP is used as a fine tuning to determine the
optimal solution at the final. The feasibility of the proposed method is validated with five- and
ten-unit test systems. Results obtained by DE-SQP method are compared with other techniques in
the literature.
