Abstract: This paper shows load planning of two thermal generating units feeding a load of 200 MW using Particle swarm optimization (PSO). The PSO involves selection of population size or number of particle, fitness function. The advantages of PSO over conventional method are better and reliable solution, better convergence rate. Initially fitness function, population size corresponding to each variable are decided, thereafter PSO is used for finding most optimal solution of the generating units under different set of iteration. The performance of system using PSO is compared with conventional method in terms of the tolerance band.
Keywords: PSO, Fitness, Population Size, Thermal.
