In this research, quantum-behaved bat algorithm (QBA) is proposed and applied to solve non-linear multi-objective CEED problem. Valve-point effect is considered along with CEED as a practical constraint of power generation system. QBA is applied to 10-unit power generation system and compared separately as single objective economic and emission dispatch problems as well as multi-objective CEED problem with other existing methods like ABCPSO, DE, NSGA-II, SPEA-2 and SA. The obtained results and comparison of results demonstrate the power of QBA in terms of solution quality, convergence characteristics and computational efficiency. © Springer International Publishing AG 2018. publisher: Springer Verlag date: 2018 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Mahdi, F.P. and Vasant, P. and Abdullah-Al-Wadud, M. and Watada, J. and Kallimani, V.
