Soft computing techniques for hydrothermal coordination problem considering prohibited operating zones

Abstract

The main aim of this research work is to formulate a more newlinereasonable hydrothermal generation scheduling problem for power system newlineoperation and subsequently to develop suitable and effective solution newlinetechniques to optimize the power generation costs Hydrothermal newlineCoordination HTC is an important planning task in power system operation newlinewhereby the generations of hydro and thermal plants are allocated to newlineminimize the total operating cost of the thermal plants in a schedule horizon newlineof one day or one week by satisfying various constraints on power system newlinenetwork The HTC is constituted by two subproblems namely dispatching newlineproblem and scheduling problem newline newline
