Economic Load Dispatch without transmission losses using Ant Lion Optimization

This software solves ELD problem without transmission losses using Ant Lion optimizer.

This software contains three example taken from the reference paper given with this program.By running the file run_eld3.m , run_eld6.m and run_eld20.m the economic load dispatch problem can be solved for 3, 6 and 20 generating units . transmission losses have been neglected in solving ELD problem.I have used the Ant Lion Optimizer one of the recently developed algorithms by Seyedali Mirjalili in 2015, motivated by hunting mechanism of ant lions.
