UNIT COMMITMENT OPTIMIZATION USING MODIFIED DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION

ABSTRACT: One type of problem in power system is “The Unit Commitment Problem”. The Unit Commitment Problem  (UCP)  is  a  constrained  optimization  problem  in  which,  optimal  turn-on  and  turn-off schedules  need  to  be  determined  over  a  given  time  horizon  for  a  group  of  power  generation  units under  some  operational  constraints.    Unit  Commitmen  Optimization  is  important  to  be  studied because  it  can  reduce  production  cost  of  power  system.  In  power  system  industry,  even  a  small reduction in production cost may lead to a large  savings. Even wide variety optimization techniques have been applied to solve Unit Commitment Problem, the oportunity to improve those optimization technique still open.  The objective of this research is to make an improvement  in  UCP optimization technique    using  Differential  Evolution  algortihm.  Differential  algorithm    has  proved  to  be  a  very efficient and robust technique for optimization function and has been used to solve problems in many scientific fields, but its application in electrical and electronic engineering is still in its infancy.
