In addition to economics, reliability and environmental emissions are of great importance for designing a power generation system. The objective of this study is to optimally design an autonomous and non-autonomous hybrid green power system (HGPS) to supply a specific load demand with...

The increasing costs of fuel and operation of thermal power generating units warrant development of optimization methodologies for economic dispatch (ED) problems. Optimization methodologies that are based on meta-heuristic procedures could assist power generation policy analysts to achieve the...
