The objective of the Economic Dispatch(ED) Problems
\r\nof electric power generation is to schedule the committed generating
\r\nunits outputs so as to meet the required load demand at minimum
\r\noperating cost while satisfying all units and system equality and
\r\ninequality constraints. This paper presents a new method of ED
\r\nproblems utilizing the Max-Min Ant System Optimization.
\r\nHistorically, traditional optimizations techniques have been used,
\r\nsuch as linear and non-linear programming, but within the past
\r\ndecade the focus has shifted on the utilization of Evolutionary
\r\nAlgorithms, as an example Genetic Algorithms, Simulated Annealing
\r\nand recently Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). In this paper we
\r\nintroduce the Max-Min Ant System based version of the Ant System.
\r\nThis algorithm encourages local searching around the best solution
\r\nfound in each iteration. To show its efficiency and effectiveness, the
\r\nproposed Max-Min Ant System is applied to sample ED problems
\r\ncomposed of 4 generators. Comparison to conventional genetic
\r\nalgorithms is presented.<\/p>\r\n","references":"[1] X. Guan, P.B. Luh, L.
