Abstract :
In this paper, an algorithm based on a heuristic approach has been developed to perform short term unit commitment. The proposed algorithm consists of several reasoning loops to generate a schedule that satisfies all given constraints. The decisions from these loops are based on a partial priority list method and some appropriate heuristic rules. A prototype program written in C language is used to implement the proposed algorithm and some numerical examples are simulated to show the results. The advantages of this algorithm are featured by its simplicity of implementation and a relatively short processing time
