Solving the hydrothermal coordination problem using an Artificial Immune System method / Mahani Hassan

Biological systems such as Artificial Immune System (AIS) can be regarded as sophisticated information processing systems and can be expected to provide inspiration for various ideas to science and engineering. This report presents a short-term hydrothermal coordination (SHC) scheduling solution using the AIS method. Short-term hydrothermal scheduling involves the hour-by hour scheduling of all hydro and thermal generation in a system to achieve minimum production cost of the thermal unit for given time period.
