Abstract :Now a day’s power demand keep on increasing due to rapid changes occurs in power industry. For that purpose establishing new generating is costlier rather than effectively utilize the available generating stations. In order to properly planning of power system generation sharing Economic Dispatch (ED) plays vital role. In this paper, Equilibrium Optimizer (EO) is used to solve the ED problem with effect of valve-point, prohibited operating zones (POZs), ramp rate up/down limits and pollution like practical constraints. In order to analyze the capability of the EO algorithm, the algorithm is applied to four test systems with 6 unit systems and the results are compared with other optimization algorithms. The comparative results proven that EO is better optimization technique to solve ED problem with practical constraints.
