Application of WDO for Decision-Making in Combined Economic and Emission Dispatch Problem

A number of optimization techniques have been used by researchers to solve the combined economic and emission dispatch problem. In this paper, we have applied Wind Driven Optimization (WDO), a heuristic global optimization technique to solve the CEED problem. The technique was applied to three different test systems and the results obtained were compared and analyzed with the results obtained from other techniques. MATLAB R2017a was used for the coding and execution of the algorithm.
