Solving Non-Convex Economic Dispatch Problems using Symbiotic Organisms Search Algorithm

Energy is one of the living sectors of the economy. With the current needs of activities from entertainment to production and business, many types of energy have been born to serve the needs of society. The common characteristic of using these types of energy is the cost reduction while increasing energy supply efficiency. This article focuses on solving the optimal economic problem in using new energy sources. Use SOSA to analyze systems with 10 devices and 40 devices. To achieve effective results, this result is compared with the results solved by other algorithms. The results show that SOSA gives better solutions than other algorithms (0.01 % - 1.11%).
