Application of Accelerated PSO and ANN for optimal Scheduling of Hydrothermal System

Abstract

A short range problem of hydrothermal scheduling of hydrothermal system with cascaded is analyzed in this paper.  The net head, water discharge rate and water transport delay between connected reservoirs is considered in the problem. The developed algorithm is demonstrated on a test system consisting one thermal plant and four cascaded hydro plants. The results obtained by the APSO technique are compared to PSO and conventional technique. It is found that result obtained by APSO approach is superior in term of fuel cost and lesser computational time. The results of PSO, APSO and conventional technique are taking as inputs for the training to ANN system. ANN provides better result as comparison of PSO, APSO and conventional technique.
