Abstract This paper presents an Differential Search(DS) Algorithm for solving the economic load dispatch(ELD) problems with Valve-Point loading constraints. DS algorithm simulates the Brownian-like random-walk movement used by an organism to migrate. Numerical results on a test system consisting of 13 units show that the proposed approach is faster, more robust and powerful than conventional algorithms. Case studies show the simulation results are better than Lagrange method, the Hopfield neural networks and GA.
