Firefly algorithm with multiple workers for the power system unit commitment problem

An adaptive modified firefly algorithm to unit commitment problem for large-scale power systems

Unit commitment (UC) problem tries to schedule output power of generation units to meet the system demand for the next several hours at minimum cost. UC adds a time dimension to the economic dispatch problem with the additional choice of turning generators to be on or off.  In this paper, in order to improve both the exploitation and exploration abilities of the firefly algorithm (FA), a new mo...

the algorithm for solving the inverse numerical range problem

برد عددی ماتریس مربعی a را با w(a) نشان داده و به این صورت تعریف می کنیم w(a)={x8ax:x ?s1} ، که در آن s1 گوی واحد است. در سال 2009، راسل کاردن مساله برد عددی معکوس را به این صورت مطرح کرده است : برای نقطه z?w(a)، بردار x?s1 را به گونه ای می یابیم که z=x*ax، در این پایان نامه ، الگوریتمی برای حل مساله برد عددی معکوس ارانه می دهیم.

Solving the Unit Commitment Problem Using Modified Imperialistic Competition Algorithm

One of the most important problems for power system operation is unit commitment (UC), for which different constraints should be satisfied. UC is a nonlinear and large-scale problem; thus, using the evolutionary algorithms has been considered for solving the problem. In this paper, the solution of the UC problem was investigated using Modified Imperialistic Competition Algorithm (MICA).  Simula...

Scheduling security constraint unit commitment for power system including stochastic wind power generation

This paper introduces a new approach for scheduling security constraint unit commitment (SCUC) including wind farms. Because of uncertainty in wind power production, we tried to develop a new method for incorporating wind power generation in power plant scheduling. For this, wind power generation modeled with unit commitment in a non-linear optimization problem and simulated by submitting diffe...
