This paper introduces and proposes a new intelligent computation entitled Thunderstorm Algorithm (TA) which is implemented to assess the power system operation presented using the IEEE-62 bus system model with considering an environmental requirement. Simulations showed that TA has ability to search the solution with good performances as given numerical and graphical results. The proposed algorithm of TA seems strongly to be a new promising opportunity for solving an integrated dispatch problem covered in pollutant production and fuel consumption aspects. Results obtained show that TA is executed in the short time and it reaches the optimal solution in the fast convergence while striking points give different implications on the individual performances at overall phases.
