Abstract
Economic Dispatch (ED) is an important problem in power generation and transmission systems. The main goal of this study is to get generation scheduling with the lowest operating costs as possible to satisfy the load demand. PSO mimics the behavior of individual in a population, which in this case, is the characteristic of six thermal power plants of interconnection system Java-Bali 500 kV. Then, Pareto Archive will provide the solutions for multiarea system. The results obtained from combining the two methods is better than the conventional methods. The more efficient the optimization results, the smaller operating costs will be incurred.
