A modified Dung Beetle optimizer for combined heat and power economic dispatch considering power losses, valve-point effects, and operating constraints.

ABSTRACT: The Combined Heat and Power Economic Dispatch (CHPED) problem represents a significant optimization challenge in modern power systems due to its inherent complexity arising from multiple operational constraints. This complexity is further exacerbated when considering the effect of power losses (PLs), valve-point loading effect (VPLE), and prohibited operating zones (POZs). Consequently, an efficient and robust optimization algorithm is essential for obtaining a globally optimal solution while satisfying all constraints. To address these challenges, this work evaluates the effectiveness of the Modified Dung Beetle Optimizer (MDBO) for solving the CHPED problem, considering PLs, VPLE, and POZs. The MDBO enhances the search process and mitigates the limitations of the conventional Dung Beetle
