Abstract

ABC-X is a generalized, automatically configurable framework for the Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) metaheuristic. ABC-X has recently been proposed and it has initially been tested on different benchmark functions sets, showing very good results when compared to known ABC algorithms. However, it has never been used in an industrial application. In this case study on a real-world problem, the performance of ABC-X for the economic power dispatch problem (EPDP) with valve point effects is investigated. The algorithm's performance is tested on four instances of different size and compared with the performance of other algorithms that have been proposed earlier for this problem. The results obtained show that ABC-X can successfully solve the EPDP with valve point effects.
