This paper introduces an optimization algorithm known as Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) and implements it to most complex problems in power structure i.e. economic load dispatch. This introduced technique mathematically models and simulates the behavior of grasshopper flocks in nature for resolving optimization problems. It is employed to discover the optimal solution of the nonconvex cost function in an Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) to demonstrate its applicability. Detail of problem formulation and the solution techniques are given in this paper. Result demonstrates that the GOA is capable to deliver the better result compared to other well-recognized and latest developed techniques (nature-inspired algorithms) in literature. The outcomes of existent applications also verify the qualities of GOA in resolving real problems with unidentified search spaces.
