This paper proposes a novel constraint handling strategy (CHM) based on random walk for metaheuristic techniques in solving the optimal economic dispatch (ED) problems. To implement this CHM, a Cuckoo Search (CS) algorithm has been adopted. The absolute as well as the relative performance of the res...
