description Dynamic economic emission dispatch problems are complex optimization tasks in power systems that aim to simultaneously minimize both fuel costs and pollutant emissions while satisfying various system constraints. Traditional methods often involve solving intricate nonlinear load flow equations or employing approximate loss formulas to account for transmission losses. These methods can be computationally expensive and may not accurately represent the actual transmission losses, affecting the overall optimization results. To address these limitations, this study proposes a novel approach that integrates transmission loss prediction into the dynamic economic emission dispatch (DEED) problem. A Random Forest machine learning model was offline-trained to predict transmission losses accurately, eliminating the need for repeated calculations during each iteration of the optimization process. This significantly reduced the computational burden of the algorithm and improved its efficiency. The proposed method utilizes a powerful multi-objective stochastic paint optimizer to solve the highly constrained and complex dynamic economic emission dispatch problem integrated with random forest-based loss prediction. A fuzzy membership-based approach was employed to determine the best compromise Pareto-optimal solution. The proposed algorithm integrated with loss prediction was validated on widely used five and ten-unit power systems with B-loss coefficients. The results obtained using the proposed algorithm were compared with seventeen algorithms available in the literature, demonstrating that the multi-objective stochastic paint optimizer (MOSPO) outperforms most existing algorithms. Notably, for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) thirty bus system, the proposed algorithm achieves yearly fuel cost savings of USD 37,339.5 and USD 3423.7 compared to the existing group search optimizer algorithm with multiple producers (GSOMP) and multi-objective multi-verse optimization (MOMVO) algorithms.
