Abstract
This paper presents a comparative analysis of efficient and reliable modern programming approach using quadratic programming (QP) and general algebraic modeling system (GAMS) to solve economic load dispatch (ELD) problem. The proposed methodology easily takes care of different equality and inequality constraints of the power dispatch problem to find optimal solution. To validate the effectiveness of algorithm simulations have been performed over four different cases i.e. Crete Island system of 18 thermal generating units, twenty generating units system with losses, practical Taiwan Power Company (TPC) data which consists of 40 generating unit system and a very large system consisting of 110 generating unit. Results obtained with the proposed method have been compared with other existing relevant approaches available in literatures. Experimental results support the claim of proficiency of the method over other existing techniques in terms of robustness and most importantly its optimal search behavior.
