Survey of Various Methods for Optimum Load Dispatch in Hybrid Power System

Scarcity of energy resources, increasing power generation cost and ever-growing demand for electric energy, it is necessary to utilize the power as much as possible. To improve the power utilization factor, economical load dispatch becomes a necessity in the power system. Many researchers have performed various optimizations on the problem of load dispatch. This paper is presenting a survey of some important work done in the field of optimized load dispatch. The paper is concluded with brief comparison of this techniques and the possibility of the further research.
