A new metaheuristic called the Walrus Optimizer (WO) is inspired by the ways in which walruses move, roost, feed, spawn, gather, and flee in response to important cues (safety and danger signals). In this work, the WO was used to address the economic load dispatch (ELD) issue, which is one of the essential parts of a power system. One type of ELD was designed to reduce fuel consumption expenses. A variety of methodologies were used to compare the WO's performance in order to determine its reliability. These methods included rime-ice algorithm (RIME), moth search algorithm (MSA), the snow ablation algorithm (SAO), and chimp optimization algorithm (ChOA) for the identical case study. We employed six scenarios: Six generators operating at two loads of 700 and 1000 MW each were employed in the first two cases for the ELD problem. For the ELD problem, the second two scenarios involved ten generators operating at two loads of 2000 MW and 1000 MW. Twenty generators operating at a 3000 MW load were the five cases for the ELD issue. Thirty generators operating at a 5000 MW load were the six cases for the ELD issue. The power mismatch factor was the main cause of ELD problems. The ideal value of this component should be close to zero. Using the WO approach, the ideal power mismatch values of 4.1922E−13 and 4.5119E−13 were found for six generator units at demand loads of 700 MW and 1000 MW, respectively. Using metrics for the minimum, mean, maximum, and standard deviation of fitness function, the procedures were evaluated over thirty separate runs. The WO outperformed all other algorithms, as seen by the results generated for the six ELD case studies. |
