Abstract

This paper solves the multi-objective optimal power dispatch problem with fuel cost and transmission loss  as competing objectives. The elitist Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) with the Nigerian 24-bus hydrothermal power system network data set have been used in this study. The better performance of the NSGA-II over both micro-GA and conventional GA approaches used in earlier studies on the Nigerian network has been demonstrated.
