Abstract

This chapter presents an overview of optimization techniques, describing their main characteristics. The goal of this chapter is to motivate the consideration of metaheuristic schemes for solving optimization problems. The study is conducted in such a way that it is clear the necessity of using metaheuristic approaches for the solution of power system problems.
