Short-Term Hydrothermal Generation Scheduling Model Using a Genetic Algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
A new model to deal with the short-term generation scheduling problem for hydrothermal systems is proposed. Using genetic algorithms (GAs), the model handles simultaneously the subproblems of short-term hydrothermal coordination, unit commitment, and economic load dispatch. Considering a scheduling horizon period of a week, hourly generation schedules are obtained for each of both hydro and thermal units. Future cost curves of hydro generation, obtained from long and mid-term models, have been used to optimize the amount of hydro energy to be used during the week. In the genetic algorithm (GA) implementation, a new technique to represent candidate solutions is introduced, and a set of expert operators has been incorporated to improve the behavior of the algorithm. Results for a real system are presented and discussed.

The solution of single-objective unit commitment problems for generation companies participating in deregulated markets may not directly be implementable mainly because of neglecting some conflicting secondary objectives arising from policy-making at internal/external environment. Benefiting an efficient multi-objective approach to improve the applicability of price-based unit commitment soluti...
