This problem is formulated as a multi-objective one with two competing functions, namely economic cost and emission functions, subject to different constraints. The inequality constraints considered are maximum and minimum limits of power generation while the equality constraint is demand-generation balance. The results are obtained for a simple power 3-generator system. The advantage of the SA algorithm is its robustness to find the global for our problem.
