Abstract

In this paper we propose a genetic algorithm hybrid method based approach to optimal load dispatch problem. The load flow in electric network is used to minimize line losses, and, therefore the cost function of electric power production. We solve fitness function by Newton numeric method, genetic algorithm (GA) method, and hybrid genetic algorithm method (HGA). We change population number and generation number to test the stability of GA and HGA methods and to determine several choices of load flow.
