Abstract :
The paper proposes a binary version of the differential evolution algorithm and then solves the transmission and voltage constrained unit commitment using it. The proposed algorithm uses binary coding of the selection variables and implementing OR/XOR/NOT type Boolean logics on variable strings. The inclusion of the ramp rate, transmission/voltage constraints ensure the feasibility of the schedule. The solution algorithm has been found to be capable of finding the optimum/near optimum solution.
