This paper presents hybrid differential evolution DE and sequential quadratic programming SQP for solving the dynamic economic dispatch DED problem for generating units with valve- point effects. DE is used as a global optimizer and SQP is used as a fine tuning to determine the optimal solution at the final. The feasibility of the proposed method is validated with five- and ten-unit test systems. Results obtained by DE-SQP method are compared with other techniques in the literature. 1. Introduction The primary objective of the static economic dispatch SED problem of electric power generation is to determine the optimal schedule of online generating units’ outputs so as to meet the load de
