The economic load dispatch is an online process of allocating generation among the available generating units to minimize the total generation cost and satisfy the equality and inequality constraints. Since the civilization increases day by day the demand of electricity increases in the same ratio. Differential evolution is a very simple but very powerful stochastic optimizer. Since its inception, it has proved very efficient and robust in function optimization and has been applied to solve problems in many scientific and engineering fields. Economic Load Dispatch Problem (ELDP) plays an important role in the operation of power system, and several models by using different techniques have been used to solve these problems. Economic Dispatch is the process of allocating the required load demand between the available generation units such that the cost of operation is minimized. There have been many algorithms proposed for economic dispatch out of which a Differential Evolution (DE) is present in this paper.
