Short-Range Fixed-Head Hydrothermal Generation Scheduling using Water Cycle Algorithm

The water cycle algorithm (WCA) is utilized to solve short-term hydrothermal generation scheduling (STHTS) problem considering fixed-head. The daily (24 hours) scheduling of electric power system termed as STHTS scheduling. Major aim of STHTS is to minimize the fuel cost of thermal units by utilizing the hydro energy while satisfying the constraints. Fixed-head reservoirs are considered. WCA is applied to solve STHTS problem. WCA is inspired from the nature based on the natural flow of water towards sea, and sea is considered as best solution. It is observed that results of WCA gives the minimum cost in comparison with existing approaches, while solving STHTS problem. Convergence curves and box plot are given to justify the robustness of WCA.
