Abstract-An Evolutionary Programming (EP) and Efficient Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) techniques are employed to solve Economic Dispatch (ED) problems including transmission losses in power system is presented in this paper. This paper is clearly justified with the results separately obtained for the above two techniques and also provided with the results by applying both the algorithms separately. With practical consideration, ED will have non-smooth cost functions with equality and inequality constraints that make the problem, a large-scale highly constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The proposed method expands the original PSO to handle a different approach for satisfying those constraints. In this paper, an Efficient Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) technique is employed so that optimized results are obtained, and by applying EP, faster convergence is obtained . To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method it is being applied to test ED problems, one with smooth and other with non smooth cost functions considering valve-point loading effects. Comparison with other optimization and hybrid algorithm techniques showed the superiority of the proposed EP-EPSO approach and confirmed its potential for solving nonlinear economic load dispatch problems with losses.
