A newly hybrid nature inspired algorithm called HPSOGWO is presented with the combination of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO). The main idea is to improve the ability of exploitation in Particle Swarm Optimization with the ability of exploration in Grey Wolf Optimizer to produce both variants’ strength. Some unimodal, multimodal, and fixed-dimension multimodal test functions are used to check the solution quality and performance of HPSOGWO variant. The numerical and statistical solutions show that the hybrid variant outperforms significantly the PSO and GWO variants in terms of solution quality, solution stability, convergence speed, and ability to find the global optimum.


The aim of economic load dispatch (ELD) is to accomplish the load demand with less fuel cost by the generators. This research shows a new grey wolf-inspired algorithm called the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) to achieve ELD. The GWO algorithm follows mainly the grey wolves hierarchy and hunting scheme. The controlling hierarchy is driven by four wolves, namely alpha, beta, delta, and omega. Three critical phases of hunting are implemented, looking for a target, surrounding a target, and attacking a target. Now, on 20 generating units, the algorithm is used and is equated with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The findings show that, compared to PSO, the GWO algorithm is set to yield economic results.
