Abstract | ||||
This paper proposes an application of the Particle Swam Optimization technique to unit commitment (UC) problem. In the proposed technique, the unit commitment is formulated as a nonlmear optimization problem subject to the applicable constraints. A numerical comparison between the results of the proposed technique and that of Dynamic Programming one has been developed. This paper also represents a good contribution to the application of one of the modem heuristic techniques in the power systems engineering area. The proposed solution methodology has been validated and tested using known test system. The results obtained compared favorably with those already available, thus showing the effectiveness and applicability of the Particle Swarm Optimization technique for solving complex power system engineering problems. | ||||
