Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) is an important topic in the operation of power plants which can help to build up effecting generating management plans. The ELD problem has no smooth cost function with equality and inequality constraints which make it difficult to be effectively solved. The paper presents an application of Cuckoo Search Algorithm (CSA) to solve Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) problems with smooth and non-smooth fuel cost objective functions. Main objective of ELD is to determine the most economic generating dispatch required to satisfy the predicted load demands including line losses over a certain period of time while relaxing various equality and inequality constraints. The unit Min/Max operational constraints, effects of valve-point loading ripples and line losses are considered for the practical applications. This paper describes the implementation of smooth and non smooth fuel cost function by CSA Method and its comparison with BAT method. We have used 6 and 12 bus system for calculating their total fuel cost.
