Abstract
Global Warming is the greatest challenge that the world is facing today. It is very important to take preventive measures before this problem poses a serious threat to the mankind. Power Plants play a major role in green house gas emissions. Nearly 21.3% of green house gases are emitted by these power plants alone. In this paper we try to propose a computational approach to reduce these carbon dioxide emissions by using Fire Fly Optimization Technique. The proposed optimization technique is better than other conventional optimization techniques in terms of computational time and number of iterations. It also shows that the method is practically applicable in real time. The technique was applied to a three generator and six generator systems for different load demands for validation. To check the quality of the solution the results are being compared with the conventional optimization algorithms.
