Description
Summary:博士 === 國立成功大學 === 電機工程研究所 === 84 === This dissertation proposes the evolutionary computing approaches for solving the optimization problem of power system operation. The evolutionary computing approaches consist of the genetic algorithm (GA) and evolutionary programming (EP) methods. In unit commitment (UC) problem, a GA method in conjunction with constraint handling techniques is used to search the near-global optimal unit scheduling solution regarding on/off status of the units. To further take into account the effects of units with nonsmooth fuel functions on the unit generation scheduling an EP-based economic dispatch methods for thermal and hydro units is presented, respectively. The developed GA-based UC method is implemented on an eight- processor transputer network, processors of which are arranged as the master-slave and dual-direction ring structures. Effectiveness of the EP-based economic dispatch method for thermal units is demonstrated on two example systems. Numerical results show that the proposed EP-based economic dispatch algorithm can provide accurate dispatch solutions within reasonable time for any type of fuel cost functions.
