The osprey optimization algorithm (OOA) is a new metaheuristic motivated by the strategy of hunting fish in seas. In this study, the OOA is applied to solve one of the main items in a power system called economic load dispatch (ELD). The ELD has two types. The first type takes into consideration the minimization of the cost of fuel consumption, this type is called ELD. The second type takes into consideration the cost of fuel consumption and the cost of emission, this type is called combined emission and economic dispatch (CEED). The performance of the OOA is compared against several techniques to evaluate its reliability. These methods include elephant herding optimization (EHO), the rime-ice algorithm (RIME), the tunicate swarm algorithm (TSA), and the slime mould algorithm (SMA) for the same case study. Also, the OOA is compared with other techniques in the literature, such as an artificial bee colony (ABO), the sine cosine algorithm (SCA), the moth search algorithm (MSA), the chimp optimization algorithm (ChOA), and monarch butterfly optimization (MBO). Power mismatch is the main item used in the evaluation of the OOA with all of these methods. There are six cases used in this work: 6 units for the ELD problem at three different loads, and 6 units for the CEED problem at three different loads. Evaluation of the techniques was performed for 30 various runs based on measuring the standard deviation, minimum fitness function, and maximum mean values. The superiority of the OOA is achieved according to the obtained results for the ELD and CEED compared to all competitor algorithms. |
