This article introduces a relatively current method named grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) for explaining power system based dynamic economic load dispatch (DELD) problem. However, like other optimization approaches, GOA suffers from premature convergence and a slow convergence rate. Thus, to boost the convergence mobility of GOA, oppositional based learning (OBL) is merged with the GOA approach. Moreover, another improvization, namely, chaotic concept, is also integrated with the GOA to improve its solution quality. The suggested oppositional based chaotic grasshopper optimization algorithm (OCGOA) method is applied to handle the DELD problem in the most efficient manner. Among the renewable energies, intermittent wind energy (WE) is the most sustainable one and remains technically and economically advantageous for electrical energy generation. The thermal and wind based power systems are hybridized, so that power generation is distributed among the operating units in an equivalent manner such that overall cost and loss part are optimized until all practical constraints are fulfilled. The production cost of the unpredictable wind generation power is further incorporated in the operational cost by employing a probability density function (PDF) formula. The precision and performance of the suggested GOA and OCGOA approaches are validated on 6-unit and 10-unit DELD systems for conventional and wind based energy systems. The efficacy and performance of the suggested OCGOA is judged by comparing it with conventional GOA and other presently developed meta-heuristic optimization techniques found in the literature.
