“…-may be overcome by applying the artificial intelligence techniques. The most common optimization techniques based upon artificial intelligence used for solving economic power dispatch problems are: the genetic algorithm [3][4][5][6], the Hopfield neural networks [2,7], the differential algorithm [8], the evolutionary programming [9,10], fuzzy-optimization [12,13], tabu search [14], particle swarm optimization [15,16,27,28]. Also, the EPD can be formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem [11,13,17].…”
