Optimal short-term generation scheduling of hydrothermal systems by implementation of real-coded genetic algorithm based on improved Mühlenbein mutation

The short-term hydrothermal scheduling (STHS) problem is providing a daily planning of hydro and thermal generations, aiming to minimize the total fuel cost of thermal plants. The minimization of total operation cost of hydrothermal power system is considered as a complex nonlinear hard optimization problem with a series of several equality and inequality constraints. This paper proposes real-coded genetic algorithm with an improved Muhlenbein mutation (RCGA-IMM) for the solution of STHS optimization problem, considering the minimization of operation cost which satisfies hydraulic and electrical constraints. The proposed optimization procedure is employed on two test systems in which different constraints have been taken into account including valve point loading effect of thermal units and transmission losses. The provided optimal solutions have been compared with recent studies in this area, which manifest superiority of the proposed method. It is found that the proposed RCGA-IMM has the capability of obtaining better solutions with respect to other optimization methods which are implemented on STHS problem.
