Genetic unit commitment model in a deregulated power energy environment

In the last decade, Australia had applied a large program of privatisation in many sectors of the economy. As a result, the power industry has been deregulated and undergone partial privatisation, creating new specific issues. In present, the bid price has a crucial role in the unit commitment problem. This paper describes a genetic algorithm approach which solves the unit commitment problem for two interconnected regions of the National Electricity Market. This ‘biological’ algorithm is an alternative to classical optimisation methods and is applied to optimise the scheduling of units, including the economic dispatch, in Queensland and New South Wales. A comparison between the results of this model and a sequential model applied to the same problem is presented.
