Resumo

Evolutionary and swarm optimization methods such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Evolutionary Programming (EP) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) have been used extensively in various applications. This paper looks at the applications of these methods in the area of load shedding. EP, GA within Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) and PSO stand out among the methods due to their simplicity of theory and application. Hybrid methods consisting of a combination of evolutionary and swarm techniques are potentially effective methods for finding global optimized solutions for optimal load shedding problems as they mesh strong points from both classes of methods.
