Scheduling short-term hydrothermal generation using predator prey optimization technique
Predatorprey optimization technique is applied for generation scheduling of fixed/variable -head hydrothermal system. In PPO, predator helps to maintain diversity in the swarm and prevents premature convergence to local sub-optimal. Initially all initial prey population make feasible by implementing the random heuristic search. Variable elimination method is applied to handle the equality constraint by eliminating variable explicitly.
