Abstract

This paper proposes a unit commitment scheduling method based on hybrid genetic algorithm(GA). When the systems are scaled up, conventional genetic algorithms suffer from computational time limitations because of the growth of the search space. So greatly reduce the search space of the GA and to efficiently deal with the constraints of the problem, priority list unit ordering scheme are incorporated as the initial solution and the minimum up and down time constraints of the units are included. The violations of other constraints are handled by integrating penalty factors. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method. test results for system of 10 units is compared with results obtained using other methods.
