In this paper, an improved Hopfield neural network which was described in [1] is applied to unit commitment problem. A new mapping process has been used and a computational method for obtaining the weights and biases is ...

In this paper, the tabu search method is applied to economic dispatch problem. The proposed method has achieved efficient and accurate solutions for power systems with 3 and 6 units. The results of the proposed method are ...

This paper presents a load forecasting method applied to electricity consumption in Nigde region. The load forecasting method is based on the Multi-Layered Perceptron (MLP) neural network (NN). Three MLP structures are ...

The modern power system is a complex dynamic system consisting of a large number of different dynamic devices, such as synchronous machines and loads. The system is continually subjected to sudden small disturbance in load. ...

In this paper, a new genetic approach based on arithmetic crossover for solving the economic dispatch problem is proposed. Elitism, arithmetic crossover and mutation are used in the genetic algorithm to generate successive ...
