Resumo:
This work proposes the application of the Nomadic People Optimizer (NPO) to solve the economic dispatch problem considering Prohibitive Operating Zones (POZ). The NPO is a swarm-based metaheuristic recently introduced in the literature and still under-explored. In addition, the POZ increase the difficulties to find the optimal solution of the economic dispatch problem. The performance of the proposed methodology is compared with others metaheuristics present in the literature. Also, a sensibility analysis was performed. The NPO performed better than Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) metaheuristics in solving the problem.
