Optimizing the harmony search algorithm for combined heat and power economic dispatch in american english

Achieving optimal utilization of multiple combined heat and power (CHP) systems is a complex problem that requires powerful methods for resolution. This paper presents a harmony search (HS) algorithm to address the economic dispatch issue in CHP (CHPED ). The recently developed metaheuristic HS algorithm has been successfully employed in a wide range of optimization problems. The method is demonstrated through a test case from existing literature and a new one proposed by the authors. Numerical results indicate that the proposed algorithm can identify superior solutions compared to traditional methods, and that the Harmony Search algorithm can be effectively applied to CHPED-related problems.
