PROJECT WORK
M.Tech:
Title: A Particle Swarm Optimization for Economic Dispatch with Non-Smooth
Cost Functions in Competitive Electricity Markets.
Description: A new approach to Economic Dispatch problems with non-smooth cost
functions in competitive electricity market using a Particle Swarm Optimization technique is
being explored. The practical Economic Dispatch problems have non-smooth cost functions
with equality and inequality constraints that makes the problem of finding the global optimum
difficult using any mathematical approaches. A Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization to
accelerate the optimization process is proposed to deal with equality and inequality
constraints of the Economic Dispatch problems in competitive electricity market. To show its
efficiency and effectiveness, the results of the Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization are
compared with conventional methods.
