R. K. Santhi, S. Subramanian . Adaptive Binary PSO based Unit Commitment. International Journal of Computer Applications. 15, 4 ( February 2011), 1-6. DOI=10.5120/1940-2591
This paper presents a binary PSO based solution technique for power system unit commitment. The intelligent generation of initial population and the repairing mechanism ensure feasible solution that satisfies the spinning reserve and unit minimum up/down constraints. The algorithm adoptively adjusts the inertia weight and the acceleration coefficients in order to enhance the search process and arrive at the global optimum. Numerical results on systems up to 100 generating units demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
