A hybrid harmony search with arithmetic crossover operation for economic dispatch
A hybrid HS with arithmetic crossover (ACHS) is proposed for five types ED problem. New update strategy is designed to improve the solution quality of ACHS. Opposition based learning strategy is incorporated to enhance population diversity. Arithmetic crossover performs the best among four crossover operators investigated. ACHS provides a competitive alternative for problems with many complex constraints.
