In this paper, an improved genetic algorithm is proposed to solve the economic dispatch (ED) problem for cogeneration systems. The proposed algorithm is a novel bio-inspired Genetic Algorithm. This algorithm seems to be efficient in finding global optimum in the economic dispatch problem. Furthermore, it provides a suitable framework for future extension to other optimization algorithms.
