In recent years, combined heat and power units have become significant elements in conventional power stations due their numerous merits, including operational cost savings and reduced emissions. In this regard, this article proposes a short-term multi-objective framework for the combined heat and power economic/emission dispatch problem. In addition, to more precisely model the problem, the non-linear forms of fuel cost functions and valve-point loading along with power transmission loss are considered. The objectives of the problem are total cost minimization as well as minimization of pollutant emissions; lexicographic optimization and the augmented epsilon-constraint technique are employed to solve the multi-objective problem. Also, a fuzzy decision making technique has been used to select the most preferred solution among the Pareto solutions. Afterward, a comprehensive comparison is performed between the results obtained from the proposed method and those derived from the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II, strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm 2, and multi-objective line-up competition algorithm, verifying the superiority of the presented approach for lower execution time, total cost, and emission. Furthermore, the proposed model is implemented on a large-scale test system while the execution time is rational.
