Abstract

The optimization of Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) in a 10-unit power system employing the Social Spider Algorithm (SSA) method. Economic Load Dispatch is a critical aspect of power system operation, aiming to allocate the power generation among multiple units efficiently while meeting the demand at the lowest possible cost. The SSA method, inspired by the collaborative behavior of social spiders, demonstrates its efficacy in solving optimization problems. In this research, the 10-unit power system is modeled, considering various constraints and objectives inherent to ELD problems. The SSA method is applied to search for the optimal combination of power generation levels for each unit, minimizing the overall cost and ensuring the fulfillment of demand. The results obtained through the SSA method are compared with traditional methods to assess its effectiveness in achieving a more economical and efficient load distribution. The study provides insights into the applicability and advantages of SSA in addressing Economic Load Dispatch challenges in power systems with a specific focus on 10-unit configurations. The findings contribute to the ongoing efforts in utilizing nature-inspired algorithms for power system optimization, offering a promising approach for enhancing operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
