Abstract
In modern power system the economic load dispatch is considered as a non-linear problem. Many conventional and modern optimization algorithms are proposed to define a solution for the economic load dispatch. Among them, Teacher and learner based optimization is considered as one of the modern searching algorithms. This paper aims to solve the non-linear problem that exists in economic load dispatch using TLBO. Generally, the non-linear problem of economic load dispatch deals with the number of constraints inequality available in nature. The constraints are mainly the voltage, real and reactive power, shunt capacitor, transformer tapping etc. TLBO leverages on optimal solution to the nonlinear problem with a good convergence ratio.
