“…Even though the dynamic programming has no restrictions on the characteristics of the cost curves, they cause the dimension of the problem to be high which in turn requires more computational efforts to solve the problem [4]. For the past several years several AI techniques such as genetic algorithm, evolutionary programming [5,6], differential evolution [7,8,9], particle swarm optimization [10,11,12,20], biogeography based optimization [13,14], artificial bee colony algorithm [15,16], exchange market algorithm [18] are employed to find the optimal solution for the economic dispatch problems.…”
