Unit commitment is one of the most important subjects with respect to the economical operation of power systems, which attempts to minimize the total thermal generating cost while satisfying all the necessary restrictive conditions.
¡@¡@This thesis proposes a short-term thermal generating unit commitment by genetic algorithm and back propagation network. Genetic algorithm is based on the optimization theory developed from natural evolution principles, and in the optimization process, seeks a set of solutions simultaneously rather than any single one by adopting stochastic movement rule from one solution to another, which prevents restriction to fractional minimal values. Neural networks method outperforms in speed and stability. This thesis uses back propagation network method to complete neural networks and sets the optimal unit combination derived from genetic algorithm as the target output.
¡@¡@Under fixed electrical systems, instant responsiveness can be calculated by neural networks. When the systematical architecture changes, genetic algorithm can be applied to re-evaluation of the optimal unit commitment, hoping to improve the pitfalls of traditional methods.
¡@¡@This thesis takes the power system of six units for example to conduct performance assessment. The results show that genetic algorithm provides solutions closer to the overall optimal solution than traditional methods in optimizing unit commitment. On the other hand, neural networks method can not only approximate the solution obtained by genetic algorithm but also process faster than any other methods.
