Abstract: A large share of the world's electricity is produced from coal and similar energy sources. Although these sources are commonly used, they carry significant costs and environmental issues, including the emission of harmful gases that contribute to global warming. To foster a more sustainable future, it is crucial to focus on generating electricity cost‐effectively while prioritizing low‐emission strategies. These strategies are implemented in the combined economic emission load dispatch (EELD) problem and economic load dispatch (ELD) problem considering renewable energy sources (RESs) by allocating the optimal power output of thermal power and renewable energy plants. This study presents a new method, called the Newton–Raphson‐based optimizer (NRBO), which draws inspiration from the Newton–Raphson approach. The NRBO thoroughly explores the optimal solutions search process using two main components: the Newton–Raphson Search Rule and the trap avoidance operator. Furthermore, the method utilizes several groups of matrices to enhance the results when addressing such problem variants. In the study, the proposed NRBO method has demonstrated its effectiveness through application in three distinct test systems, considering transmission line losses, generator limits, and overall system constraints. The proposed NRBO method was compared with other techniques in the literature via various criteria. The comparison results show that NRBO effectively explores and exploits options to find the optimal global solution, outperforming other methods while respecting all constraints and limits.
