Abstract: Now a day?s an electrical utility wants to maximize its profit; the optimization of economic dispatch is of economic value to the network operator. So, objective is to optimize the total cost of the plant. The ELD problem in a power system to determine the least generation of all the operating generators which will minimizes the total fuel cost of the plant. This paper introduce a bio inspired and novel technique optimization algorithm called BAT ALGORITHM to solve economic dispatch problems is presented and enhancing the convergence property to obtain results quickly.The proposed method has good convergence property and better in quality of solution than PSO and IWD reported in recent literature.BAT algorithm is easy to implement and priory in terms of accuracy and efficiency compared with other algorithms.
