Abstract: Bio-inspired algorithms become among the most powerful algorithms for optimization. In this paper, we intend to provide one of the recent bio-inspired metaheuristic which is the Firefly Algorithm (FF) to optimize power dispatching. For evaluation, we adapt the particle swarm optimization to the problem in the same way as the firefly algorithm. The application is done in an IEEE-14 and on two thermal plant networks. In one of the examples, we neglect power loss and pollutant emissions. The comparison with the particle swarm optimization (PSO), demonstrate the efficiency of firefly algorithm to reach the best cost in less than one second.
