Abstract: Modified Particle swarm optimization (MPSO) is applied to allot the active power among the generating stations satisfying the system constraints and minimizing the cost of power generated. The viability of the method is analyzed for its accuracy and rate of convergence. The economic load dispatch problem is solved for six unit system using MPSO for both cases of neglecting and including transmission losses. The optimization technique is constantly evolving to provide better and faster results. The economic load dispatch (ELD) plays a important role in operation of power system to decrease the power consumption and to fulfill the load demand in such a way to minimize the total generation cost and satisfying the equality and inequality constraints.
