“…A recent review on the use of multi-objective optimization (MOO) in the energy sector, namely in the electricity sector, can be found in [9]. Several methods have been reported in the literature concerning the environmental/economic dispatch problem such as Genetic Algorithms [10][11][12], Differential Evolution Algorithms [13,14], Harmony Search Algorithms [15], Gravitational Search Algorithms [16], Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithms [17][18][19], and Bacterial Foraging Algorithms [20]. These methods fall into the category of metaheuristics, which are optimization methods known to be able to provide good quality solutions within a reasonable computational time (see e.g., [21,22]).…”
