Combined economic and emissions dispatch is a crucial area due to rise of environmental pollution caused by greenhouse gases from thermal power plants and other human activities. Also, the cost of generation of electric power by using thermal power plant is at elevated level due to high expenses incurred on fuels. In this paper the valve point effect is considered whereby modern steam generators are incorporated with this technology for increasing the efficiency. Furthermore, three primary emissions from thermal power plants which are COx, NO x and SO x are considered. The six units and ten units test systems are used for implementing the study. The results of a novel Moth Flame Optimization and Bat hybrid algorithm are compared with other methods reported in the literature and found to be promising.
