Paper presents predator–prey based optimization (PPO) technique to obtain optimal generation scheduling of short-term hydrothermal system. PPO is a part of the swarm intelligence family and is capable to solve large scale non-linear optimization problems. PPO based algorithm combines the idea of particle swarm optimization concept with predator effect that helps to, maintain diversity in the sw...

A comparison analysis based method for computing the water consumption volume needed for electric energy production of optimal scheduling in hydro-thermal power systems is presented in this paper. The electric energy produced by hydroelectric plants and coal-fired plants is divided into 4 components: potential energy, kinetic energy, water-deep pressure energy and reservoir energy. A new and im...

Hypertrophic (HTSs) and keloid scars are common dermatological complaints produced by disruption of the normal wound-healing process. Despite a wide array of therapeutic options available to treat these lesions, HTSs and keloids continue to pose a significant challenge to clinicians in everyday practice. The chemotherapeutic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is a well-known treatment option reserved f...

We examine the effects of competition and decentralized ownership on resource scheduling. We show that centralized scheduling of multi-owned resources under imperfect information m y face dificulties that do not arise when resources are centrally owned. We pelfomz a simulation case study using a Lagrangian relaxation-based unit commitment algorithm modified to simulate proposed second-price poo...

We examine the effects of competition and decentralized ownership on resource scheduling. We show that centralized scheduling of multi-owned resources under imperfect information may face difficulties that do not arise when resources are centrally owned.

Atmospheric pollutants mainly produced by thermal power plants compel to utilize green energy sources such as renewable and hydroelectric in a system. But due blinking behavior of very high rate outages, it has detrimental consequence on overall grid. Demand side management (DSM) programs decrease cost improve system security. This study proposes non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA...

This manuscript suggests quasi-oppositional fast convergence evolutionary programming (QOFCEP) technique to determine short-term generation scheduling of fixed head hydrothermal system comprising pumped storage hydro plants (PSHPs), solar PV (SPVPs) and wind turbine generators (WTGs) with demand response program (DRP). PSHPs are used power (FHPPs), thermal generating units (TGUs), SPVPs WTGs op...
