Economic utilization and environmental impact are contradictory objectives in the problem of power generation scheduling where sustainable development of a country is partially depended on these two. The objective of this paper is to schedule the output of committed generating units where both cost and emission of electric power generation have been minimized without shedding any load and satisfying all units and system equality and inequality constraints. In this paper, a new swarm behaviour-based meta-heuristic technique named Tunicate Swarm Algorithm (TSA) has been implemented to solve this problem and the efficacy of this algorithm has also been compared. A six generators system connected with four buses has been considered in this paper as a test model.
