Recently, many algorithms have been presented for new approaches based on natural inspirations as introduced in this paper is explored from the migrating Salmon mechanism. This approach is Artificial Salmon Tracking Algorithm (ASTA) which is tested on a standard system model for carrying out a dynamic economic dispatch. In these studies, ASTA is also used to optimize the system and to get an optimal portion of the balanced combination. The results show that the solution is produced dynamically to make the optimal operation for 24 hours. The system model can be balanced based on the quadratic model while ASTA has been demonstrated clearly to search for optimal solutions.
