The economic load dispatch plays an important role in the operation of power system,
and several models by using different techniques have been used to solve these problems.
Several traditional approaches, like lambda-iteration and gradient method are utilized to find out
the optimal solution of non-linear problem. More recently, the soft computing techniques have
received more attention and were used in a number of successful and practical applications. The
purpose of this work is to find out the advantages of application of the evolutionary computing
technique and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in particular to the economic load dispatch
problem. Here, an attempt has been made to find out the minimum cost by using PSO using the
data of three and six generating units
